Animation Reel
Project Background
This reel showcases highlights from a rigorous 12-week animation course I completed through School of Motion in Spring 2021. The intensive program pushed my creative and technical limits, deepening my passion for storytelling through motion design while providing a creative outlet during a personally challenging time.
The course focused on fundamental animation principles—timing, easing, character movement, and visual storytelling—using industry-standard After Effects workflows. Each project in the reel demonstrates progression from basic motion graphics to more complex character animation and narrative sequences. Beyond technical skills, the experience reinforced what drives my work: the joy of bringing illustrations and ideas to life through purposeful, expressive motion.
