I love making films and stop motion animations about what inspires me, its a wonderful creative process making films for clients and getting immersed in their worlds and what inspires them to create. A few recent client and personal projects are below, including the contemporary artist Rachel Redfern and wonderful Yoga teacher Chandni.
From a young age I have always been making things and creating and it has become a defining feature of my life. I have distinct memories of my parents encouraging my love of creativity by supplying me with paper, ribbons, beads, card and coloured tissue paper. I grew up in Emsworth by the sea and have lots of memories of roaming the shoreline searching for shells, bird feathers and stones to add to my collection of little trinkets, using them creatively in collages.I give customers confidence in their business to market their ideas, brands and give them the platform to flourish.

We have used Leaping Cow on a number of ocassions including our fabulous current website. Cris Black has a great way of understanding what the client is looking for and then creating designs and styles which fit with the brief perfectly. Very responsive to changes, alterations etc. All in all a very professional, highly skilled designer - highly recommended.

I have worked with cris on several design projects over the last few years and not only is she a delight to work with, but she is an incredibly talented creative designer. She has recently rebranded my business - providing new logos, colour guides, graphics and photography for both my on and off line marketing. Thank you for all your hard work

We have used Leaping Cow several times now, for both video projects and graphics design work. We are delighted with the way that Cris works closely with us, and to the design brief. She gives good professional advice and the final results have been fantastic. In particular the time she spent at our event days taking footage for the promotional video's, and the way she interacted with the participants was fantastic. Thank you, will definitely use again.
