About

I’m JJ Shim, a senior motion designer and art director with 15+ years shaping how global brands look and move on screen. I bridge creative vision and production reality—working from concept through to delivery—so the final frame always matches the brand’s motion language and intent.

I’ve led motion and CG work across TV, social, and live environments for clients including Roche, Samsung, and Google, plus large-scale stage visuals for projects like PSY live events and The IVORS. I enjoy starting at the idea stage, building systems that scale across deliverables, and staying hands-on across motion graphics, animation, and immersive experiences.
