PERSONAL PROJECT

Created 81 Reels in one year, demonstrating all 300+ After Effects keyboard shortcuts.

It’s a story about order and chaos, good and bad, yin and yang. It’s a story about consciousness and balance.

Learned pretty quickly that explainer work lives or dies on whether it actually makes things easier to understand.

Clean motion, smooth transitions, and a modern style that makes learning shortcuts feel effortless and fun.

Made in After Effects with just keyframes and a lot of tweaking, this little loop is all about getting the bounce to feel right.

Opticians don’t just sell glasses, they sell moments you’d otherwise miss. That’s what I wanted this piece to feel like.

A 2D loop animation capturing the monotony of working from home.

A mini lesson for the old me who was always jumping from one project to another.
