Most of my animated work starts with curiosity—an imagined movement or rhythm that feels worth chasing. I bring that same sense of exploration to professional projects, where motion design can sharpen storytelling and clarify a message. In production workflows, I regularly build custom motion templates and title generators: clean, reusable graphics that streamline post-production for me and the editors I work with. Whether the goal is clarity or visual interest, I aim to create motion elements that solve problems gracefully and feel right at home in the final piece.
When creating animations and motion graphics, I typically use After Effects, Motion, Procreate, and Photoshop—but my most ambitious project called for a broader set of tools. I designed a fully custom animated character to introduce each module of an online course about personal growth. I first created the character (or "puppet") using Illustrator and Photoshop, rigged the puppet in Character Animator, and brought it to life through background animation and scene assembly in After Effects and Final Cut Pro. I also directed and recorded a voice actor using Logic Pro in a professional studio. This patchwork of multimedia tools helped me build a cohesive, expressive character that matched the course's positive tone.
