What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead motion and UI animation projects, apply AI-driven creative workflows, collaborate cross-functionally, and mentor teams while delivering high-impact digital experiences.

I am an Art Director and Motion Designer with 15+ years of experience in video production, brand storytelling, and UI/UX animation. I specialize in blending motion design with AI-powered workflows to create scalable, high-impact digital experiences.

Over my career I have produced nearly 300 promotional videos and led teams of 5–10, managing projects end-to-end from concept through final delivery while meeting budgets and deadlines. I have developed UI animations, logo animations, explainer videos, and interactive prototypes that improved engagement for global brands and public institutions.

Technically, I am expert in Adobe After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop, and regularly use tools like MidJourney, Runway ML, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Lottie, and Figma to enhance creative output and streamline production. I have a proven record working in fast-paced remote environments and cross-cultural teams.

I bring a practical, collaboration-focused approach to design education and mentorship, having led workshops and mentored students on app ideation, prototyping, and motion integration. I seek to continue shaping memorable digital experiences through animation, storytelling, and AI-enhanced creativity.
