Available to hire
Howdy! I’m Kavon Zamanian, a motion designer and After Effects specialist based out of Colorado Springs. I’ve worked with every video-based format imaginable—from large-format displays to tiny web animations.
With a background in narrative storytelling and video editing, I unite visuals to convey effective, tailored messaging. I’m exploring the forefront of AI video output, which relies on that fundamental production understanding. I love what I do and believe it shows in every frame of my work.
