What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote (US time zones) and want to lead motion work that pairs art direction with creative automation and generative AI—so we can scale localization, reduce production cycles, and keep brand consistency strong.

I’m a Senior Motion Designer and Technical Lead with 10+ years specializing in high-scale production for global brands like Google and YouTube. I bridge art direction with technical innovation through Creative Automation (ExtendScript/JS) and generative AI workflows to deliver faster output without sacrificing brand consistency.

At Media.Monks (Google/YouTube Hub), I lead high-priority animation projects and engineered production at 3,000+ localized video assets per campaign. I build custom After Effects scripts to automate repetitive work, optimize Figma-to-Motion integrations with scalable templates, and pioneer generative AI for audio localization—while mentoring junior and mid-level designers to raise technical and creative standards.
