What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my animation and design skills in a collaborative environment, where I can contribute to innovative projects and continue to grow professionally.

I am a creative and versatile multimedia designer with over ten years of experience in web and graphic design, computer animation, and motion graphics. My journey began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, which laid the foundation for my artistic skills. I have honed my craft through various roles, including my recent position as a Multimedia, Instructional & Learning Designer at the University of the Witwatersrand, where I develop engaging course materials that enhance student engagement and satisfaction.

My experience as a Video Animator and Motion Designer at LatinCouver allowed me to create impactful animations that increased viewer engagement by 40% on social media.

I am passionate about using my skills to create visually compelling stories that resonate with audiences and drive results.
