Digital illustrator and 2D animator creating concept-driven motion narratives and cohesive brand visuals—end to end.
What I'm looking for
I’m a digital illustrator and 2D animator who turns abstract brand briefs into concept-driven illustration and motion narratives. I develop cohesive visual directions and bring them through to polished delivery.
In my freelance motion work, I plan and execute looping motion design projects end-to-end—from concept development and style frames to illustration, animation, and final delivery. I keep structured project files for efficient iteration and collaboration, and I manage client communication throughout production to align on creative direction, feedback, and final delivery.
Before focusing on motion-led illustration, I built a strong foundation in design and visual storytelling through roles as a graphic designer and an environmental designer. I’ve developed brand visual identity assets, illustration-driven collection visuals for major brands, and spatial experience and environmental graphics for global retail and commercial clients.
I also took a career break dedicated to creative growth, strengthening my illustration and motion design skills through intensive self-directed practice, online coursework, and personal projects—so my work stays sharp, intentional, and story-focused.
