What I'm looking for

I’m seeking roles where I can combine motion design and growth strategy to create measurable, conversion-focused creative within collaborative product or marketing teams.

Senior motion designer with 9 years across agency and in-house teams. I bridge creative execution and performance strategy—translating data, growth insights, and complex ideas into motion that strengthens brand and drives results across paid social and beyond.

My work spans short-form social ads, explainer videos, motion-based product content, and light live-action production — from concept and storyboard through animation, editing, and final delivery. Meta Certified Creative Strategy Professional with a social-first approach to every brief.

Let's make things move—and make things that move people.
