Here I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned in my career of eleven years. Seven of which was at Riot Games, where I introduced motion graphics to League of Legends the game, by starting and creating logins screens and in-game animations. By the end of my time there, I grew into a leadership role as a Creative Director, RnDing animation styles and directing cinematics.
Welcome to my channel!

After we finished the 7 minute animated short, I tasked the team to create this animation and art for promotional purposes. I feel this best captures the tone of the short.
The hair and cloth was animated by a script I developed for After Effects, AFPHairRig. If you're interested in it, I created a tutorial and am giving it away for free. Both this animation and ANNIE:Origins use the script. The tutorial and script link can be found here: youtu.be/oiEjz_-8wfk
