I design motion graphics.
I animate layers.
I can help your project be awesome.
Hi. I'm Manuel. I'm a motion graphics animator and visual effects artist. For the last few years I have worked at Google on their in-house video production team.
I specialize in creating quirky, simple, and clean animated videos. I am also skilled in cleaning up videos, whether it is removing a smudge on a table, or a composited replacement of UI on a phone's screen.
Born in Iran, raised in the Central Valley of California. It was during high school I fell in love with media arts. I attended CSU Stanislaus and majored in Communication Studies. Following that I continued my education at Emerson College, receiving a masters in Visual Media Arts.
In my time off, you'll find me DJ-ing, running, cycling, or drinking craft beers.
