What I'm looking for

I'm seeking roles in motion design or video editing where I can produce engaging short-form and long-form content, work collaboratively, and grow my animation and storytelling skills.

I'm a video editor, motion designer, 2D animator, and illustrator with years of hands-on experience creating engaging motion graphics and storytelling-driven video content.

I specialize in Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Rive, producing TikTok reels, Instagram reels, YouTube videos and shorts, animation advertisements, logo and game animation, and children's animation.

My work history includes roles for agencies and project-based contracts across Canada, the USA, and local clients where I delivered motion graphics, storyboards, 2D animations, GIFs, and educational content aligned to storyboards and asset requirements.

I focus on clean, audience-focused visual communication, quality assurance on assets, and sound-aware editing to ensure animated and edited content performs well across social and educational platforms.
