Work History
Motion Graphic UI/UX Designer
Accuride International Inc.
Santa Fe Springs
11.2016 - 04.2024
- I started at Accuride and I was considered a man of many hats
- I did a lot of Post-Production Video Editing and I started experimenting with Video Special Effects in the work I was creating
- But I lent my brain in to other skill-sets which I have obtained throughout the years
- I helped in web development and UI/UX at Accuride, but soon I started creating Motion Design work for UI/UX as well and it was like where I felt I really shined
- I got a chance to work in every aspect of Motion Design, from doing Tradeshow Promo videos and Social Media Content to creating Visual UI/UX Media which both drives user journey which in turn defines navigation and creates a more natural experience by adding a level of depth to the user interaction I design
- I found that aspect of Motion Graphic work really fascinating because it kind of made me fit in where in the past I was kinda everywhere trying to write code for web development and at the same time creating really cool stuff for video implementation in the same page as well.
