Motion designer and 2D animator with 7 years shaping sports and digital brands.
What I'm looking for
I’m a motion designer and graphic designer with 7 years of experience owning visual output across broadcast, digital, and social platforms. At Digicel Group: SportsMax, I took sole creative responsibility for over 1,300 graphic designs and digital assets across LaLiga, the Champions League, the Europa League, and Formula 1—making independent brand and design decisions with no senior oversight across four major sports properties.
I’m also design-led by results: I grew platform engagement by 90% and contributed to a 35% sales increase at JMART through visual campaigns. I currently supervise student capstone productions at the University of Technology, Jamaica, and I’m Toon Boom Harmony certified, with an MSc Media Management in progress at UWI—committed to building workflows, maintaining brand integrity, and elevating craft through clear creative direction.
