Lunar North - Senior Motion Designer

In this role I worked on projects for clients such as Sony, The Verge, Audi, and
5-Hour Energy. These projects often demanded unique team workflows, technical
approaches, and aesthetic goals. My role ranged from being a part of larger teams
to independently completing projects. I expanded my technical skills, including
Octane and Redshift rendering, Unity VR asset optimization and began implementing
simulations into my designs and animations with TurbulenceFD and Houdini.
