Aditya Gaikwad
@adityagaikwad1
Product and motion designer crafting visual systems and developer-ready animations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product & Motion Designer with 5+ years of experience creating motion pieces, visual systems, and brand identities for live digital products. I focus on visual storytelling, art direction, and smooth handoff-ready animation built for developers, using tools like Rive and Lottie alongside the Adobe suite.
Most recently, I owned end-to-end motion design for a live gaming app—covering splash screens, homepages, matchmaking, and win/loss animations—while also developing and iterating the full visual identity and design system through multiple product pivots. I’ve also led visual work for e-learning (Hurix Digital) and built destination-themed illustration and brand collateral for events and marketing, with a consistent emphasis on quality, collaboration, and delivering on time.
