Show Pony 🐎
Its been a long time since I animated any of my illustrations, so today I thought I'd jump back on the horse and see if I still got it.
that pony has so much bounce
Safe to say you still got it 🐎 Those eyelashes are doing a lot of work

Some people think having text on an album cover is tacky.
But I think it really comes down to how the typography is incorporated.
There's a difference between simply placing text on an image and making it an integral part of the artwork.
So I decided to explore this idea by designing a fictional album cover of my own.
For this concept, I used playful colors, handwritten text and hand-drawn elements to capture the album's imaginative and whimsical personality.
Rather than treating the title as a separate element, I wanted it to feel like a natural part of the overall design.
What do you think?
Treating the handwritten title as part of the artwork rather than a label on top is the right call. Email designers fight the same battle with hero images: text baked into the picture looks great until an inbox blocks images. Which came first for you, the lettering or the collage?
ORIGIN → BOUND | A Motion Design Experiment
An idea begins as something small. It takes shape, comes to life, and gradually builds its own world. But what happens when the very boundaries that define it become the things that hold it back?
ORIGIN → BOUND is a personal motion design project exploring the contrast between creation, freedom, and confinement. Through abstract shapes, geometric forms, lighting, and movement, I wanted to tell a visual story that transitions from energy and creation to restriction and stillness.
The goal was to create something that communicates a feeling without relying on characters or dialogue. Every movement, transition, shape, and lighting detail plays a part in building the narrative and creating a cinematic visual experience.
Created entirely in Adobe After Effects, this project gave me an opportunity to experiment with shape animation, geometric compositions, wireframe elements, lighting, transitions, and sound design while exploring a more minimal and atmospheric visual direction.
Beyond the final visuals, this project represents my approach to motion design: combining thoughtful concepts, strong visual composition, and purposeful animation to turn ideas into engaging experiences.
What I Can Help You Create
I work with brands, startups, and creative teams to bring their ideas to life through:
SaaS & Product Explainer Videos – Making complex products and ideas easier to understand through engaging animation.
2D Product Demo Videos – Showcasing product features, workflows, and functionality through clear visual storytelling.
UI/UX & Interface Animations – Bringing interfaces, dashboards, and digital experiences to life.
Logo Animation & Brand Identity Motion – Creating professional animations that give brands a distinctive visual presence.
Feature Highlight Videos – Communicating key product features through focused, engaging visuals.
Promotional & Marketing Videos – Creating polished motion content for product launches, campaigns, and brand communication.

Whether you're launching a new product, explaining a complex feature, building your brand identity, or looking to create something visually distinctive, I'd love to help.
Have a project in mind? Let's make something amazing together.
Showing the preview, the final animation and the After Effects timeline in one frame is a smart way to explain the process. Did you place the particles by hand or with a script?
We kept zooming in on a planet until it didn't fit on the phone.
A ringed gas giant grows until it fills the whole screen and lands on a deep boom. It's drawn in text characters, one per cell, against black space.
It's 11 seconds, and the sound is ours too.
What should we fly past next?
