Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the Motion Designer position. After relocating from Sydney to London in 2013, I transitioned from a long career in print and graphic design into motion-focused roles, driven by a strong passion for animation and 3D. I am now a highly experienced motion designer with a background across retail, technology, events, and FMCG. After 12 years in London, I moved to Madrid, Spain, in March 2025 with my wife and daughter. My daily tools are After Effects and Cinema 4D with Redshift and X-Particles, with additional experience in Houdini simulations, motion tracking, packaging animation, and 3D scene creation. I have delivered work for global brands including Coca-Cola, Heineken, HP, Intel, Nokia, and Grey Goose, producing everything from product launches and explainer videos to large-format screen content and UX animations. I am detail-driven, fast, collaborative, and continuously learning new tools and workflows. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills and passion for motion to your team. Kind regards, Michael Docking
