Hey everyone! π Thrilled to kick off my Contra portfolio with a recent self-directed motion project: VoltGrid Smart Energy Explainer.
VoltGrid automatically routes solar, battery, and grid power to lower energy bills. The main hurdle? Homeowners found the technical side of energy management overwhelming. The product worked brilliantly. It just needed clear visual storytelling.
Rather than stacking up copy, I built a ~60-second animated story to visualize energy routing in real time, turning technical complexity into a clean, intuitive viewer experience.
My Role (End-to-End):
β’ Strategy & creative brief
β’ Scripting & narrative
β’ Storyboarding & style frames
β’ Animation, motion design & multi-format 4K renders
β’ Sound Design
This reflects the exact end-to-end process I bring to design partner and freelance projects.
Iβm actively available for freelance & contract motion design, explainer videos, and brand animation. Let's build something awesome together. Feel free to send a message! β¨
Welcome to the Contra!
Thanks Abdullah π

Since October 2025, Iβve been working with Frontify on an ongoing series of onboarding and tutorial videos designed to help both new and existing users better understand the platform.
So far, weβve created 75+ videos β and the library is still growing.
The workflow is fairly simple, but the challenge is in keeping everything clear, consistent, and engaging across such a large number of tutorials.
π₯ Screen Studio for recording
ποΈ After Effects for editing and animation
π No AI used in the editing process
Every video is manually crafted with the goal of making product features and workflows easier to understand and follow.
Itβs been a great long-term project and an interesting challenge in building a repeatable production process without letting quality or attention to detail slip.

75+ videos and still growing is a serious production pipeline. At that volume, are you templating the structure heavily to keep it sustainable, or does each video still get built mostly from scratch?
POV: you're a designer but all you like to do is create delicious textures for ambitious clients ready to take a risk.
In the tech world where we're governed by minimalistic and sharp design, a new era is coming. The era of bold, colorful and textured design, where tech becomes... appealing π
The real gatekeeper for textured brands is usually the product team, not the client β heavy texture tends to get traded away the moment someone raises load times or dark mode. The work that survives keeps the texture in marketing surfaces and lets the UI carry a quieter version....
