About

I’m a freelance motion designer and animator with 18 years of experience creating both 2D and 3D animation for agencies, studios, and brands. Based in South Africa and working remotely worldwide, I specialize in Cinema 4D with Redshift and After Effects, delivering everything from advertising and branded content to large-scale event animation.

I’ve contributed to major international work, including projection animation for Burj Khalifa’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Dubai. I enjoy collaborating across time zones, supporting remote teams, and taking projects from concept through compositing, tracking, lighting, texturing, and final delivery—always with a strong focus on clean, compelling visuals.
