Monica Harrion

I’m a Graphic Designer, Motion Artist, and Editor with over 15 years delivering high-impact visual storytelling for major brands, including JibJab Media, McDonald’s, and Discovery Channel. I’m hands-on across the creative lifecycle—from storyboarding and custom typography to final video editing and rendering—so projects land with both polish and purpose. I specialize in bridging traditional 2D and 3D motion with tools like Blender and Generative AI to produce modern, scalable content for digital, print, and social.

At JibJab Media, I served as Art Director of Animation / Senior Technical Artist and led creative direction and execution of 2D and 3D animations for eCards, product videos, and social media campaigns viewed by millions. I introduced streamlined animation workflows that improved team collaboration, translated complex storyboards into polished narratives, and designed character and hair assets, dynamic typography, and title sequences using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I built reusable templates, animation systems, and asset libraries to standardize creative workflows, while blending 2D and 3D motion to maintain depth and visual consistency across projects.

I also owned end-to-end production details like 2D facial animation and lipsync, refining timing through full editing pipelines to deliver visually cohesive final renders. I supervised and mentored a hybrid team of in-house and freelance animators, partnering with marketing, UX, and production teams to concept, design, and deliver targeted campaigns that increased eCard engagement by 30%. Across my earlier roles—from multimedia design at Bally Technologies to rotoscoping at Stereo D/SDFX and production support at Warner Bros Animation—I’ve built a strong foundation in storyboarding, technical compatibility, and quality-focused execution that I bring to every new challenge.
