Hi, I’m Cannon McClain, a motion designer and animator based in Detroit, Michigan. I design and animate motion graphics and 2D animations for businesses and video agencies across the country, with a focus on storytelling, clear visuals, and polished timelines using After Effects, Illustrator, and Figma. I love collaborating with in-house content teams and clients to translate ideas into engaging visuals. I enjoy exploring tools and techniques—like Unreal Engine 5 (where applicable) and Rive—while delivering social posts, website elements, and large-format visuals that meet the brief and deadlines.…Hi, I’m Cannon McClain, a motion designer and animator based in Detroit, Michigan.
