Motion Graphics Designer and After Effects animator with over five years of experience building animated explainer videos, brand motion content, and 2D and 3D animation for SaaS, e-commerce, fintech, and B2B clients across the US and Europe. I turn complex products into clear, watchable motion graphics that hold attention and move people to act. Most of my work starts the same way. A founder has a product that takes three paragraphs to explain, and nobody reads three paragraphs. An animated explainer video solves that in sixty seconds. I handle the whole pipeline: script shaping, storyboard, style frames, motion graphics animation, sound sync, and final render. You get one point of contact from brief to delivery, not a relay of freelancers. My core service is animated explainer video production. I build SaaS onboarding videos, product walkthroughs, animated explainer content for fintech and edtech platforms, and demo videos that sales teams actually use. Every explainer video is designed around one message, then paced so the viewer never drifts. Kinetic typography carries the value props, 2D animation carries the story, and clean sound design ties it together. Beyond explainer video work, I do 2D animation and character animation for brands that want personality rather than another stock template look. This covers animated infographics, data animation, whiteboard animation, and 2D illustration brought to life in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator. For 3D animation I work in Cinema 4D with Octane and Redshift rendering. That means photoreal 3D product visualization, 3D product animation, cinematic openers, and 3D motion graphics for launch campaigns. When a physical product needs a hero shot that no camera can capture, 3D animation is the answer. Logo animation and brand motion identity are a separate specialty. I take a static logo and give it a motion signature: intros, outros, stingers, and animated style guides that keep a brand consistent across every video it ever ships. Video intro and outro packages are built once and reused across an entire content series. I also cover full video production and video editing. That includes video post-editing, color grading, sound design, and videography footage cleanup on hybrid live action and motion graphics pieces. If you have raw footage and no idea what to do with it, I edit, grade, animate over it, and hand back a finished brand video. Video animation for paid social, YouTube pre-rolls, and product launch campaigns is regular work here. UI animation and micro-interactions round out the offering. Product demos, app screen recordings polished into motion graphics, and interface animation for landing pages all sit inside the same workflow. Motion design is a craft before it is a deliverable. Good motion graphics come from timing, easing, and restraint, not from stacking effects. That principle sits behind every logo animation, every kinetic typography sequence, and every explainer video I ship. Graphic design fundamentals, layout, type, and colour, come first, then the animation follows. Industries I know well: B2B SaaS, fintech, edtech, DTC e-commerce, health tech, and creative agencies who white label motion graphics work. I have shipped animation for early stage startups on a tight runway and for established brands with a locked style guide, and I adjust the process to whichever you are. Tools I use daily are Adobe After Effects with advanced expressions, scripts, and plugins, Cinema 4D with Octane and Redshift, Adobe Illustrator for vector and style frames, Adobe Photoshop for texture and cleanup, Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing and assembly, and Figma when a design handoff is involved. How I work is simple. Clear timelines with milestone based delivery. Two to three revisions included on every milestone. Source files, both .aep and .c4d, delivered on every project so you are never locked to me. Fluent English, async friendly across time zones, comfortable with short turnarounds and with long running retainers. If you need one thing done well, a single logo animation or a short video intro and outro pack, that is a fine place to start. If you need a motion design partner across a quarter of launches, videography support, and ongoing video editing, that works too. I work best with clients who care about craft, communication, and a clean handoff. If you have a brand, a product, or an idea that needs to move, send me a message with your brief or a reference video. I will come back within 24 hours with a clear scope, a timeline, and a fixed price or hourly quote.

The past ten years in full-time freelance have really honed my expertise in Motion Graphics, where I've animated everything from movie bumpers to explainer videos to special FX, and everything in between. I've even taken on an adjunct teaching position at Chapman University in the graphic design department. I'm a strong generalist across 2D animation and 3D animation. I also have extensive 3D design and animation experience in Maya and Cinema4D for both games and pre-rendered quality assets. For the work I did in advertising, I was the full production coordinator. I did everything from design to modeling, animation, final rendering and compositing, etc. I was also the motion designer on staff. With my degree in Computer Animation and a minor in Digital Film, I learned not only the software, but I got a solid foundation in traditional arts. The many entertainment genres I've studied or worked in make me versatile enough to handle polished corporate work, story-driven animation, game-ready video game assets, or even live-action visual effects. I'm a great multimedia guy with a solid background in the principles of animation as it applies to motion design. I'm excited to tackle whatever project you have. I'm incorporated under the name JZ Motion, Inc., so that should bring great confidence to anyone who has been frustrated by flaky or unresponsive freelancers. This is my livelihood, and I tackle every contract with a high degree of professionalism.
