Services
2d animation
From character-driven storytelling to explainer videos, I bring illustrations to life! Whether you're looking for frame-by-frame or rig-based animation, or something completely unique - I specialize in creating clear and expressive content that is emotive and engaging.
motion graphics
Dynamic typography, animated icons, and compelling transitions - motion graphics are vital to telling stories visually and making ideas stick. I design with purpose to help you captivate your audience with visually cohesive content and enhance messaging.
video editing
Editing is where your story truly comes together; whether it's for marketing, education, or branded content. I shape raw footage into a polished finished product to ensure your content has impactful narratives and thoughtful pacing, sound design, and visual rhythm.
