Freelance motion designer specializing in 2D animation and visual storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I am a freelance motion designer with a BA in Visual Communication and over two decades of experience in design, video, and animation production. I combine graphic, web and motion design skills to create visual material that informs and entices target audiences.
I specialize in 2D animation using Adobe After Effects and complementary tools, and I maintain strong 3D animation and video editing capabilities with Blender and Premiere Pro. I write scripts, develop storyboards, and collaborate with clients in idea development through final delivery.
As the owner of a motion design studio since 2022 and a long-running freelance visual and web designer, I deliver logo animation, UI/app animation, 3D product rendering, motion tracking and explainer videos. I emphasize clear client communication, deadline management and continual software skill growth.
I hold multiple LinkedIn-issued certifications in motion graphics, 3D tracking, infographic and illustrative design, and I enjoy solving creative problems across web, print and interactive projects to produce salient, memorable outputs.
