About Me

I’m a motion designer specializing primarily in 2D animation, with 3D used as a supporting tool to enhance visuals and depth.

My journey into motion design began in 2018. At that time, I was working as a waiter in a small café, saving money to buy my first computer so I could start learning animation. It was a simple but important step that completely changed the direction of my life.

After about six months of intensive practice, I created my first portfolio and got my first position at the incredibly warm and creative studio Xplai in Zhytomyr. That’s where my professional path as a motion designer truly began.

Since then, I’ve been focused on crafting clear, engaging motion graphics and continuously improving my skills, combining strong 2D motion design foundations with 3D elements when they help bring an idea to life.

Experience

I have over 7 years of experience in motion design. During this time, I’ve worked on hundreds of projects across different industries, creating motion graphics that combine strong visual storytelling with clean, modern animation.

Some of the most notable clients I’ve collaborated with include Lovable, Snapchat, Sony Music, Toyota, and IFS, along with many other great clients and creative teams.

Each project is an opportunity to explore new ideas, refine visual language, and deliver motion that communicates clearly and effectively.

Skills

With 7 years of professional experience, I work confidently across the core tools used in modern motion design, including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Figma, and Cinema 4D.

My primary focus is 2D motion design in After Effects, supported by strong design workflows and selective use of 3D in Cinema 4D when projects require additional depth and visual complexity.

I also have additional experience working with AI tools, integrating them into creative workflows to speed up production, generate visual concepts, and explore new approaches to motion design.
