Nicolas Christian
@nichriz77
Senior motion & communication designer specializing in explainer animation, product storytelling, and AI-assisted video workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Motion & Communication Designer with 10+ years of experience turning complex systems into clear, engaging visual content. I specialize in explainer animation, instructional motion design, and product storytelling that helps teams drive adoption and make technical concepts accessible to non-expert audiences.
For nearly five years at Ørsted, I produced global multimedia content and built motion-based onboarding and communication assets for TravellersGate, replacing written documentation with self-guided onboarding. I also standardized a safety briefing animation as the default pre-event video company-wide, and I built reusable motion templates and asset systems that reduced production turnaround time by approximately 60%.
Across my freelance work, I’ve created context-aware demo videos engineered for both silent expo loop playback and narrated live presentation, including a 90-second conference demo video presented at SXSW Sydney 2025. I’ve also delivered instructional animation series and consumer-friendly educational explainers that translate dense information into practical, visually intuitive guidance.
Today, I increasingly incorporate AI-assisted tools (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Adobe Firefly) into content and production workflows, with hands-on exploration of automation via n8n and AI-assisted editing via Descript. I’m comfortable collaborating asynchronously with cross-functional, international teams across time zones, while mentoring others to keep quality high under high-volume delivery.
