    Hi! I am a Motion, Graphic, & Editorial Designer with over 10 years of experience. I am originally from California where I graduated from UCLA. I am currently based in San Diego where I work for a top communications and entertainment channel, designing graphics and animations for their many branded digital channels nationwide. I have worked for big companies in the media world including NBC, Telemundo, San Diego Union Tribune, and CBS4 Print Publications and have also created marketing designs for The Hudson Group, Travelex. and Tui, the American University of Aruba, among many others. At UCLA, I was Design Director for my school's newspaper, the Daily Bruin. After graduating, I was hired by the San Diego Union Tribune as a Features Page Designer where I was in charge of the conceptualization and execution of the Home + Garden section. I often designed the next day's news which taught me how to work in a fast-paced environment under tight deadlines. I moved to Miami to work for CBS4 Print Publications, designing a magazine and various advertisements for the local CBS channel.

    My name is Nalena, I'm a San Diego based motion designer and animator with 13 years of experience creating branded animations, commercials, and short to long form videos. I am excited to introduce my skill sets to Upwork. Expertise include: storyboard, illustration, animation, sound, and video editing. I partner directly with brands, agencies, and video production companies to design animated videos from ideation to final delivery. While I am new to Upwork, I'm excited to collaborate on innovative projects and build lasting relationships with clients. List of custom design services I offer: - 2D Animation - Motion Graphics - Character Animation - A/B video testing - Explainer Video - Social Media Video - Stop Motion - Lower third and title design - Lottie Animation - Figma Animation - Animated GIF - Storyboards - Script development - Illustration - Style Frame Presentation - Voice Over Sourcing - Video Editing - Short form video - Long form video - Sizzle reel creation - Video conversion Let's work together to bring your story to life. In my process we walk through your brand and figure out the best strategy and style direction to take. Creating an animated video can seem complex but it doesn't have to be. Let's break down the process together so you are involved in every phase of production. Let's figure out the best way to speak to your specific audience and create a story that is UNIQUELY YOUR BRAND. What comes involved in creating an animation and why does it matter? 01​ STYLE FRAMES These are great pitch materials for that first client meeting and gets everyone comfortable with the first concept ideas. A style frame, concept design, or 'mood board' is usually 2-3 images that showcase the ‘final look’ of the animation. These can be useful when bidding on potential projects or selling you idea to key stakeholders. 02​ STORYBOARDS Without structure you have nothing holding together the story of the video, ideas and production may change on a dime which could reroute your direction and initial goal. Even the simplest production requires a blueprint in order to stay on budget and within your time frame. Storyboard are sequential drawings or images that tell the actions of the story as they progress in time. 03 ​SOUND DESIGN Depending on whether or not you have a voiceover on your video we will discuss overall sound design, effects, and music. This can range anywhere from stock audio to more custom options like composed music. I specialize in sourcing talent, presenting you samples, and directing chosen talent. 04 ​ASSET PRODUCTION The organizing and prepping of all assets for animation production. In this phase ‘Assets’, graphic designed elements, text, characters, or other objects, are digitally designed and prepared for the animation. 05 ​ANIMATION The exciting part! Now that you know the direction established through the previous steps, it is now time to execute the plan. For stop motion, the lighting and cameras are up, the set is dressed and ready for animation. With digital animation, our file assets are organized and ready to animate. Depending on the complexity of the shot, the animator must make many timing decisions that influence the life of the character or object to tell our story. Timing and anticipation skillsets are key to animation. 06 ​EDITING This is where we compose all of our finished animated shots into one unified video. We trim the footage, edit down, color correct, and mix together sound effects with animated shots. 07​ FINAL ANIMATION DELIVERY I’ll send you the final animation in all the formats you need so your content is high quality across all platforms and you can share them with your entire audience. Let’s make your ideas shine through the visual clutter on social media. I’m here to help you reach these goals and guide you through the process. If you like what you’ve read so far then let’s schedule a time to chat about your next project. Please reach out directly through Upwork or email: projects@nalena.com Flexible project based rates available upon request. I pride myself on being responsive, and you can expect a response to your project request within 24 hours during my working hours from 8am -7pm Pacific Time. Thank you, Nalena
