Senior 2D/3D Animator & Creative Director | Visual Storytelling

I’m a Senior 2D/3D Animator and Creative Director specializing in visual storytelling, animation, and concept-driven creative work. With $100K+ earned across 160+ projects on Upwork, I’ve worked with clients to turn ideas, scripts, and complex concepts into clear, engaging visual experiences — from initial concept and story development through design, animation, and final delivery. My work goes beyond simply making things move. I focus on the idea behind the visuals: what the audience needs to understand, feel, or remember, and how storytelling, design, pacing, and motion can work together to achieve that. What I can help with: *Creative Direction & Visual Development — defining the visual approach, style, and storytelling direction for a project *2D Animation & Motion Design — character animation, explainers, promotional content, and motion graphics *3D Animation — modeling, animation, lighting, rendering, and integration with 2D workflows *Visual Storytelling — translating scripts, concepts, and complex information into engaging visual narratives *Storyboarding & Concept Development — developing scenes, compositions, pacing, and narrative flow before production *Illustration & Character Design — creating original characters, environments, and visual assets *Compositing & Final Production — bringing all elements together into a polished final piece I work across different visual styles and production techniques, including traditional 2D animation, motion graphics, illustration, 3D animation, mixed-media workflows, and pixel art. Whether you already have a fully developed creative direction or need help figuring out the best way to tell the story visually, I can take a project from early concept through final production. Core skills: Creative Direction, 2D Animation, 3D Animation, Visual Storytelling, Motion Design, Storyboarding, Illustration, Character Design, Concept Development, Compositing.
