Varied Timelines

A collection of my strongest motion graphics work, all of these developed during my internship at Reality Check Inc. The skill set has carried into nearly every project I've done since, from logo animations to integrated 3D sequences. The pieces below are the most informative and visually distinct work I'm able to share publicly.

Use Cases

Use Cases

Motion graphics typically show up in three forms across my work: logo animations and brand reveals, graphic overlays for promotional video, and integrated motion built directly into 3D environments. The most ambitious recent example involving building a 3D world in Blender and Unreal Engine with a design team, then overlaying motion graphics so they read as native elements inside the scene.

Process

Every project starts with either a finished graphic to animate or a rough concept I'll develop into one. When the assets exist, I focus on motion strategy, pacing, timing, emphasis. When they don't, I design from scratch in Illustration before moving into animation. Either path ends in the same place, motion that enhances the message.

Tools & Workflow

Tools & Workflow

Sketch —> Adobe Illustrator (with layer architecture built for animation handoff) —> Adobe After Effects —> Media Encoder. The illustrator stage is where the most thinking happens, clean, parented layers there make the After Effects stage significantly faster and more flexible.

Finished Work

Across every piece I create, the priority stays the same, motion that clarifies, not motion that decorates. Whether it's logo systems, promotional content, or 3D integrated sequences, each piece is shown the same level of care and thoughtfulness.
