I help app and SaaS teams ship Lottie Animation, Logo Animation, and UI Animation that loads instantly and never lags, recent work cut a client's animation file size from 2.1MB to 28KB while hitting 60fps, eliminating onboarding lag entirely. If GIFs got rejected for being too heavy, or your app needs smoother UI motion, I'm your specialist.
Send me your logo, icon, or UI concept, and I'll reply with a feasibility note or a quick animated mockup within a few hours, so you can see the direction before committing to anything.
The problem I solve:
Most animation freelancers hand you a heavy MP4 or GIF that tanks your app's performance, or an After Effects file your dev team can't actually implement. I build animation the way engineers need it — small, scalable, and dev-ready from day one.
What I deliver:
→ Lottie Animation — JSON files under 100kb for loaders, onboarding flows, icons, and mascots, optimized so they never lag on mobile or web
→ Logo Animation — Logo Reveal & Logo Intro animations, 2D and 3D, that stay pixel-accurate to your brand at any size
→ UI Animation — micro-interactions, dashboard animation, hero sections, landing page animation, and app onboarding motion that make interfaces feel responsive and premium
→ SVG Animation — crisp, scalable icon and logo motion that holds up on any screen size
→ Logo to Lottie/SVG conversion — turning static brand assets into interactive, production-ready motion
→ Complex technical animation — audio-reactive visualizers, data-driven motion graphics, map and traffic reveal animations
→ Intro/Outro Animation
→ Loader Animation
→ Spinner Animation
Why teams hire me:
- For over 5 years now, I've been creating animated videos
- 5.0★ average rating | Top Rated
- Real client outcomes: 2.1MB → 28KB file size reduction at 60fps, zero app lag
- Clients return for repeat work — trusted for precision-driven, dev-ready delivery
- Clear communication, fast response time (0–4 hours)
"Files are super light — won't make your app or whatever you're working on lag." — client feedback after a mascot Lottie pack delivery.
Recent work includes a logo animation for a scientific/technical brand — the client called the final result "perfect" and returned for additional motion design work. I also built a full mascot animation system deployed across web, iOS, and Android, praised for being consistent, high-quality, and lightweight enough for production.
How I work:
Send me your logo, icon, brand assets, or UI concept
I reply within a few hours with a feasibility note — or often a quick animated mockup
We refine together with fast, clear communication until it's dev-ready
Toolstack: Adobe After Effects, Bodymovin, LottieFiles, Adobe Illustrator, Figma

After helping 50+ SaaS founders, product teams, and FinTech companies bring their brands to life through motion, I've learned that when users see polished, intentional animation, they trust your product faster and that's exactly what I create.
I'm a motion designer and After Effects specialist with over 10 years of experience helping SaaS startups, app founders, and product owners turn static designs into dynamic, engaging brand experiences that make potential customers instantly believe in what you're offering.
HERE IS WHAT I HELP YOU ACHIEVE:

- Create UI animations that guide users through your app effortlessly
- Build brand recognition through consistent, polished motion design
- Launch products with animated assets that stand out in the market
AND HERE IS WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH ME DIFFERENT:
I handle the complete motion production process from start to finish, from concept and Figma storyboards, all the way through After Effects animation, rendering, and final delivery. You don't need to juggle multiple freelancers, explain your vision repeatedly, or wait weeks for revisions. You bring the brief and design file. I deliver a complete animated asset (or suite) that's ready to ship, typically
within 72hr.
I SPECIALIZE IN CREATING:
- SaaS UI & Interaction Animations
- App Promo and Demo Videos
- Branding & Logo Animations

A QUICK NOTE BEFORE YOU REACH OUT:
I have worked with 50+ product owners globally to create animations that clarify their message, strengthen their brand, and help them connect with the right audience. Every single project I take on is handled based on its unique needs, because I genuinely believe that no two products are the same, and no two animations should be either.
Whether you're a first-time founder explaining your app for the very first time, or an established SaaS company looking to refresh your brand with premium motion, I'm here to make your product unmissable.
Send me a message with your Figma file or brief, and let's talk about your project. I'm confident that once you see the final animation, you'll know it was exactly what your product needed.
