Available to hire
I’m a freelance motion designer and video editor with strong experience across Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I’ve worked on educational and brand-focused projects, creating accessible motion graphics, consistent layout and colour, and polished audio through VO editing and EQ.
I also lead animation workflows—building After Effects templates and guidelines, setting up project folder structures, and supporting teams with training and 4K screen-recorded instruction. Alongside client and contract work, I’m developing a pop-up LED on-projection installation featuring 16 unique animated music videos, with event dates planned for 2026 and beyond.
