What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, apply AI-driven creative pipelines, and deliver performance-optimized video ads while improving workflows and collaboration.

I am a creative and technically versatile senior motion and video designer with over 10 years of experience in visual storytelling, animation, and procedural art.

I combine motion design skills with technical artistry and AI-driven workflows—using tools like Runway, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion—to produce high-performing, emotionally engaging ads and to cut production time while boosting creative diversity.

I have led cross-functional teams and developed production pipelines for VFX, QA, and asset integration in Unreal Engine, delivering projects on schedule and introducing AI-assisted QA and workflow automation to improve iteration speed and collaboration.

I collaborate closely with marketing teams to interpret campaign metrics (CTR, CR, ROAS), design performance-driven short-form edits and pre-roll ads, and build repeatable pipelines and scripting solutions (After Effects + JavaScript) for sustained creative output.
