Alexander S.
2D Animation | Motion Graphics | Expert Science Communicator
Hey there! My name is Alex. I'm a documentary filmmaker, 2D animator, and producer with a PhD in Visual Anthropology. I also run a small creative studio called Ligature Historical that specializes in traditional animation and motion graphics for research-driven storytelling. Over the past few years I've worked with universities, museums, NGOs, and educational organizations to transform complex ideas into engaging visual media. My background combines academic research, science communication, documentary production, and animation, allowing me to bridge the gap between subject-matter experts and public audiences. My services include 2D animation, motion graphics, documentary and educational video production, explainer content, graphic design, scientific and historical illustration, and creative support for research communication and public engagement projects. Whether you're producing a YouTube series, museum installation, educational course, grant-funded outreach project, or branded documentary, I can help take your project from concept development through final delivery. I use no AI in any part of my creative pipeline.
