3D MOTION DESIGNER | CREATIVE LEAD
ATS-Freindly PDF
At my core, I’m a dedicated 3D generalist driven by cinematic storytelling and animation. With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve become highly versatile across the production pipeline. This flexibility allows me to comfortably guide projects from concept to completion, whether delivering multi-platform assets for agencies and studios or providing full creative direction and execution for small businesses. Moving forward, my focus is on securing a full-time Senior Motion Designer or Associate Creative Director role where I can step in as a reliable partner to contribute to great design and support a strong team. If you have an open role in mind, I'd love to connect and chat.
