#94 Reuben Skinner: Videographer at Canva, Sydney, Australia

Reuben Skinner is a Belfast born and bred videographer currently living in Sydney Australia with his wife Estelle and three kids to Dora-Rose, Toban and Zeke.  

 

Having initially studied Education with Art and Design, Reuben moved to Japan in 2010 to teach English, they were caught up in the devastating 2011 earthquake.

 

Upon his return to Belfast, Rebeun set up a small video production company, working initially in weddings and events before transitioning to commercial and brand video content.  

 

After 8 years of working with brands from NI, the UK and the US, Reuben now works for tech unicorn Canva in Sydney.

 

Since then Reuben has been carving out the roadmap for how the multi-billion-dollar design company offers video as a tool for making Canva into a household name. 

 

In this episode, we talk all about relocation, how to get hired by a unicorn and how to do creative work that moves the needle.
