Hi, I’m Tyler Sanders, a Chicago-based After Effects motion designer with over a decade of experience transforming ideas into engaging visuals. Since 2019 I’ve been freelancing, handling all steps of post-production—from editing and motion graphics to sound design, music selection, and finishing. I thrive under tight deadlines, translating client messaging into clear, dynamic visuals across events, social, web, streaming, and broadcast formats. I’ve collaborated with brands like Google, Showtime, Yellowjackets, Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU to deliver media that resonates. Previously I led post-production at Shoreline Productions from 2014 to 2019, where I edited videos, created motion graphics, coordinated with videographers and editors, and built robust project templates and data archives. I’ve earned industry recognition including a 2023 Golden Pollie Award and Emmy nominations in 2018 and 2016. I hold an MFA in Game Design from DePaul and a BA in Communication from Trinity University, and I’m proficient in After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, Rive, and Unity among others.
