Matt Niblock

Senior Designer

London, United Kingdom
As a senior designer with over thirteen years of commercial experience, I have worked on a wide variety of projects across large brands such as the BBC, SKY and Discovery Channel that have been crucial to my creative and commercial development.

During my employment at Go Entertain I have worked on a range of products including the accompanying book to the BAFTA nominated documentary The National History Museum Alive with David Attenborough. Having been trusted with sole ownership of this project I utilised excellent communication and time-management skills liaising with internal and external production teams to design and deliver a strong product on time.

Working in the same position for the last four years has allowed me to enhance my abilities in creativity, teamwork and project management but now is the time to develop further by bringing my enthusiasm and valuable skill set to a new team.
