Motion Graphic Artist
Summary
9+ years of motion design and 3D animation. I build 2D/3D motion, SVG/JSON animation, 3D models, and advanced compositing — animation assets for social, user acquisition, promo, explainer, SaaS, and event work, plus production-ready Lottie for web, iOS, and Android.
A strong collaborator and communicator, I manage client relationships proactively and keep teams well-informed throughout every project. I balance multiple workloads efficiently without sacrificing quality, and stay current with industry techniques through continuous professional development.
