I am an AI Creative Designer specializing in AI animation and editing, turning briefs into performance-ready visuals using CapCut, Runway, and SDXL. I blend storytelling craft with precise, AI-driven generation and multi-shot consistency to deliver brand-safe assets that resonate with audiences. I thrive in cross-functional teams, manage reusable asset libraries, and iterate from data to optimized outputs. I build prompt sheets, templates, and asset libraries to speed up cycles, improve continuity, and drive performance metrics such as watch-time, CTR, saves, and shares.
