What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can turn ideas into polished animated videos and storyboards. I want to work across motion design and visual storytelling, with room to contribute, problem-solve, and keep learning.

I’m a motion graphics animator and storyboard artist with nearly 10 years of experience turning client visions into compelling animated videos and illustrations. Known for creativity and problem-solving, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can both contribute and learn from talented teams, while keeping every piece I create vibrant and purposeful.

In recent roles, I’ve collaborated with designers, directors, producers, and creative directors to deliver standout animated content and to manage assets—from video and audio to images and design files. I also create storyboards for broadcast and web commercials, distilling shot lists and treatments into detailed visual blueprints, and I support production with motion graphics like end cards and lower thirds, plus supplementary photo editing and digital design.
