Design Systems with Motion

<aside>

Need a senior motion designer? Let’s talk!

Hey! I’m currently searching for my next opportunity, maybe it’s with your team?

A bit about me: I’m a motion graphics designer who turns complex ideas into visuals that communicate, guide attention, and tell stories while feeling clear, dynamic, and memorable. Over the past 15+ years in digital design, I’ve collaborated with marketing, product, VFX production, and live event teams - contributing to projects ranging from marketing campaigns and SaaS explainers to broadcast visuals and screen graphics for TV series.

My focus is on making motion both communicative and systematic: brand-coherent animations, cross-platform alignment, and smarter workflows in After Effects powered by expressions and automation. That means less repetitive work, more creative freedom, and visuals that scale seamlessly.

Alongside projects, I enjoy exploring new workflow tricks that make motion design less overwhelming and more fun.

Based in Catalonia, Spain, I’m open to hybrid and remote roles in Barcelona, fully remote roles within CET, and asynchronous remote positions in other time zones.

I’d love to hear about the motion challenges your company is facing and explore how I can help solve them.

Feel free to check out my 🔗Portfolio, 🔗CV, or 🔗connect on LinkedIn!
