HELLO!
KIA ORA!
I'm Harriet Thompson from Synthetick, in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a semi-retired motion graphics and vfx artist, designer and illustrator. I love what I do because it combines my backgrounds in art, media and technology. I'm at a stage in life where my focus is on my own creative projects, but I do still take on the occasional freelance gig if it feels right so please email.
I have degrees in Fine Arts and Mathematics and I've worked as a TV news and current affairs editor, and in multimedia back when it was an emerging field, before going on to run my own motion graphics and visual effects studio, working on videos, films, TV, exhibits and events with producers, directors and corporate clients.
Since 2008 I’ve also been producing my own collection of motion graphics and digital art assets under the name Synthetick. Thousands of satisfied customers have bought my media to use in a wide range of productions, from websites to album covers to film and TV productions.
Synthetick's media is available on Adobe Stock, Pond5, Shutterstock, iStock and Getty Images, under a Royalty-free License which allows you to use the media worldwide, for multiple uses, and without time limits, in just about any creative or commercial context.
