Poppy Houston is a motion designer and 2D animator based in London. Her work sits where design meets storytelling, blending expressive, hand-drawn movement with the clarity of modern motion design. She creates pieces that feel human and thoughtful, whether for brand campaigns, editorial explainers, or social storytelling.
Recent projects include motion work for Business Insider, Insulate Ukraine, All Dressed Up, and the University of the Arts London. Poppy studied Animation at the University of the Arts London and continues to expand her practice through illustration and character-driven projects.
Beyond client work, she develops personal projects that explore nature, emotion, and narrative through a playful visual lens — most recently Anna’s Orchard, a picture book and animation concept about small acts of care and connection.
