Hi, I’m Rivai Weizhuo Li, a motion designer focused on UI motion, brand storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration. I translate ideas into clear, engaging animations for product interfaces, live events, and campaigns. I thrive in fast-paced teams, enjoy building storyboard-to-animation pipelines in After Effects, Figma, and Cinema 4D, and love delivering assets that look consistent across formats and channels, from digital ads to large conferences.
