Motion graphics collection
When you’re on a small creative team, you have to do more with less. That was the case when I was a designer at SHIFT Communications, which led me to start learning animation in my spare time. I started experimenting with animation in PowerPoint before moving to After Effects and started finding ways to turn that new skill into something useful for our clients.
One of the first formats I developed was what we called “infographic sliders”—an upsell that transformed static infographics into animated videos or slide decks. From there, I progressed into more traditional motion graphics, creating everything from intro and outro animations to lower thirds and other video elements. What started as a self-directed learning project ultimately expanded what our small creative team could offer.
Product announcement animation for StreetEasy
Zillow’s New York City brand wanted to announce a new product in a video format before the product design was ready for its close-up. I helped create an upbeat, eye-catching announcement video that built anticipation without relying on final product screens.
The result gave the team a way to start telling the story early, generating interest and media attention ahead of the launch.

Market Smarts
Market Smarts was a quarterly internal video series that helped Zillow employees understand economic trends affecting the housing market. I created motion graphics including lower thirds, a news broadcast-style ticker, data visualizations and drop-down callouts, using motion to make complex information easier to follow.

Private listing networks statement from Zillow CEO
The practice of “office exclusive” and “private listings” disadvantages both buyers and sellers. Zillow believes all consumers should have access to all available home listings — not only because the open market gives buyers more options and sellers a better deal, but because it’s what’s fair. Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman shared his thoughts about the issue in this video created for social sharing.

YouTube Shorts
For Zillow’s short-form video series, I created intro, lower-third and outro animations designed to give quick-hit content a consistent visual identity. The series broke down complex economic data and product information into short, approachable stories built for a scrolling audience.

Employee Stories
I created intro, lower-third and outro animations for social videos featuring Zillow employees, giving the series a recognizable visual identity while helping the content feel polished and engaging. The videos supported both talent recruitment and employee engagement.

Animated Infographics
I brought static infographics to life with motion, transforming graphics originally created for clients’ corporate blogs and event booths into more dynamic video content. Animation helped guide viewers through the information and gave existing visual assets a second life.
