I currently work as a motion designer at The Washington Post, adapting vertical video for Instagram Stories, creating animated artwork for article pages, and bringing motion to interactive stories. I work primarily in Adobe After Effects with assets created in either Illustrator or Photoshop.
FEATURED ANIMATION
Looking to improve your mental health? Pay attention to birds.
2023 was the year that I got into birds. It was also, coincidentally, the year that the Washington Post published this story about the mental benefits of bird-watching. With the help of illustrator George Wyesol and designer/art director Chelsea Conrad, this animation I created for Instagram won the Society for News Design bronze award for "video stories design."
For the optimal experience, make sure your sound is turned on before watching.
