Professional summary

I am a Motion Designer and VFX Artist with more than 14 years of experience creating 2D animation, compositing, visual identity systems, and immersive AR/VR experiences.

I have worked across academic, institutional, and commercial contexts, producing broadcast-quality motion pieces, branding campaigns, and interactive multimedia content for diverse audiences.

My background includes teaching and leading motion graphics and digital media production at university level, where I have directed large volumes of projects and supervised multidisciplinary teams.

I am internationally trained in Australia and the United Kingdom, and I bring experience collaborating with remote and distributed teams through asynchronous communication and strong self-management.

My work often combines visual storytelling, accessibility, and innovation, including inclusive multimedia materials and educational experiences designed for people with different needs.

I am open to remote collaboration and value deadline compliance, clear communication, and creative problem-solving in every project I take on.
