I’m looking for a senior animation or motion design role where I can be creative, own end-to-end motion/graphics delivery, and lead high-quality outputs while collaborating with the rest of the creative team or mentor juniors.

@annastylianidou
Senior computer animator delivering 2D/3D animation, motion design, video editing, illustration, and end-to-end production for global brands.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Computer Animator with 18+ years of experience delivering high-impact creative content for global brands, including Microsoft, Ford, Capital One, and Xbox.
I specialize in 2D/3D animation, graphics, and illustration, with hands-on work across AI-assisted workflows and production-ready asset creation from concept to final delivery.
In my recent roles, I owned the full production cycle (concept → animation → video/audio editing → tech QA), integrated AI tools into client workflows to support faster timelines, and led projects while maintaining consistent quality across team and time zones.
Alongside client work, I’ve contributed to multiple published games titles, led main character animation and cut-scenes, and mentored junior animators and collaborators. I also enjoy creating educational and advertising content, including TV ads and e-learning videos, plus illustrating books for independent authors and schools.
