  • WhoOpen or Close
    My name is Thomas Henry Greybe, I was born in South Africa, later relocating to London, England.

    Since graduating from Bournemouth University in 2003, I have been actively involved in the creative digital industry. I have an extensive range of skills. A designer, a developer and a contributor of very high standards. I Work to tight deadlines and deliver top quality results.

    As I developed, I moved into mainstream advertising agencies, making a variety of digital media. My experience encompasses web development, creative design, UX design, web strategy, filming, directing and editing.

    My films have been screened at Cannes, Cannes Lions, Rushes(Soho Shorts). I also won the 2010 Trailermade scheme. My one problem is you can't tell if I'm happy or sad as I have an upside down mouth.

    I've created a Venn diagram on the right to display my skills more visually.

    Thanks for looking :-)
