Richard Mans
Filmmaker / Illustrator
I'm currently enjoying doodling and creating some art with ink on paper. The last few years I have been working for Puredepth as their lead HMI (Human Machine Interface) designer, mainly catering for the automotive industry. This tended to require a very clean minimal aesthetic. Doodling feels like the perfect counterpoint to rediscover some creativity
