Reflection

At Artefact I experienced a variety of projects from experience / interface design to research and envisioning projects. This project as exciting as it gave me a chance to flex my skills in motion design. I was designated as one of the resident motion designers in the studio, and would often be leveraged to support and advance the motion side of projects.
