About this service

Summary

Starting with strategic storyboarding and ending with final execution, I can design and animate stories to engage your brand’s audience. As a motion designer with a graphic design background and a decade of experience, I can create work that aligns perfectly within your brand, or pushes boundaries, if that's what's called for.

FAQs

  • How will I receive files for review?

    For storyboards, you will receive a PDF document for easy review. For animations, you will receive a Frame.io link where you will be able to make comments at specific time codes.

  • Do you provide NDA agreements?

    As lovely as it is to be able to show client work in my portfolio, I can absolutely provide an NDA agreement, upon request! Please let me know if you’d like one, and I’ll make sure to include before kicking off the project.

  • How many revisions are included?

    A typical project includes 2 rounds of design revisions during the storyboard phase, and 1 round of revisions during the animation phase. However, depending on the scope of the project, this can be discussed and adjusted prior to signing the contract.

  • Do you require a deposit?

    Yes, after signing the contract, you will receive an initial invoice for 25% of the project total, which is a non-refundable fee. Please note that the project will not begin until the deposit is in the escrow account, and it will shift the timeline back by the same amount of days the payment was delayed.
