I help SaaS and technology companies explain what their product does quickly and clearly. From product demos and UI walkthroughs to explainer videos, onboarding content, and product launches, I create motion design that makes complex products easy to understand. I'm Cody R. Fisher, an Expert-Vetted motion designer in Upwork's Top 1%. You know your product inside and out. Your users don't. That's where I come in. I've worked with IBM, Google, Citrix, AT&T, Netflix, ESPN, ABC, and high-growth SaaS companies to turn products, features, and workflows into videos that educate, onboard, and convert. My process is simple: message first, design second, animation last. By focusing on the explanation before the visuals, projects stay aligned, revisions stay low, and the final video stays focused on the audience. Services include: SaaS product explainer videos Product demos and walkthroughs UI and app animation Onboarding and feature adoption videos Product launch videos Marketing and landing page videos B2B software demonstrations Video editing and motion graphics Character animation when it supports the message Whether you have a finished script, a rough outline, or simply screen recordings of your product, I can help shape the story and turn it into a polished final video. I work primarily in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator.

I've managed accounts across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest for brands in e-commerce, wellness, real estate, and professional services. Virtual Assistance: I'm the person behind the scenes who makes sure the inbox is clean, the calendar makes sense, the deadlines are met, and nothing falls through the cracks. I've supported founders, executives, and teams with everything from email management and research to CRM updates and project coordination. Writing & Copywriting: Whether it's a website, an email sequence, a blog post, or a product description, I write with clarity, purpose, and the reader in mind.
