5 STAR REVIEWS - Over 250!! "Patricia brought my project to life! Excellent communication. 100% on schedule. Highly recommend. Will definitely work with Patricia again in the future!" "Working with Patricia was the best experience in my two years on Upwork. Her quality of work and communication skills are nothing short of superb. Every aspect of my project was addressed and many ideas created by Patricia herself. She is extremely creative and gifted. I owe much of my business success to her. I cannot recommend any higher." The above is just a glimpse into feedback from my clients and the experience I provide for them. I do this work because I love it. I will always get back to you the same day. I try to get back to you within minutes of a request. I work evenings, weekends, and overnight to accommodate tight schedules. My job is to make the completion of your project as easy and pleasant as possible. My motto is "The job is done when you love it." I am your one stop shop for any kind of 2D animation. A music video I animated won "Best Animation" in the Golden Harvest Film Festival in Tokyo and another was a semi-finalist for Best Music Video in the LA Independent Women Film Awards. I work in Adobe Animate, After Effect, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator and Character Animator. I have my BFA in Fine Art, and although I primarily do animation now, I started out as an illustrator and graphic designer. My first job was doing photo-editing and trade show graphics. So, if you find your company needs photo-editing, design or illustration, I can help you with that as well. I am also a professional musician. I use Adobe Audition to edit my audio tracks. I compose, record, and perform, so if you need music added or audio edited for your animation, I do that as well. I have done corporate and tech company animations, infographic animations, Youtube intro animations, Facebook, Instagram and Google Chrome GIF and html/js animations, animated logos, photorealism animations, and cartoon animations. If you want it animated, you've come to the right place. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on your next project.
