As a Motion Graphics Generalist at Ingenuity Studios, I create and animate 2D and 3D motion graphics for film, tv, and music video projects, with clients such as Disney, Netflix, Apple, Imagine Dragons, and Billie Eilish. I have been at the studio for 4 years, using Adobe Creative Cloud tools (primarily After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator) and Procreate to design and animate typography, logos, characters, visual effects, and UI elements. Prior to Ingenuity, I had 7 years of experience as a Post-Production Specialist for DSG (now CVI), where I edited videos in Adobe Premiere and animated motion graphics in After Effects as a member of the in-house creative team. There I completed 100+ assignments involving storyboarding, color correction, audio editing, and animation. I also led key projects that involved rigging and animating 2D characters. Additionally, I have completed freelance work, with commissions including illustrating a children's book, drawing portraits, and designing logos, t-shirts, and posters. I am passionate about visual storytelling and 2D character animation, and I am constantly learning new software and techniques to improve my craft.
