Hey! I'm Laurel!
I'm an independent motion designer, 2D animator & illustrator helping my clients tell their unique stories
I pride myself on doing great work, and being great to work with. Good communication and organized workflow smooth out the process. I’m all about making you look good — delivering on brand, on budget, and on time.

A SNIPPET OF MY STORY
I'm a New Yorker who's also lived in China, New Mexico, Massachusetts, and Australia. Currently I’m based in Chicago.
I’m a firm believer in the power of international perspective. I love getting to know different people, cultures, and places on a deeper level.
I got my B.A. from Amherst College as a double major in art & English. Storytelling, whether through words or visuals, is something I’ve always loved.
Language intrigues me. I'm also fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish. For the past few years, I've been learning Russian and Portuguese for fun.
In my spare time, I like movies, audiobooks, music, travel, photography, culinary experiments, sharing side-splitting laughter with friends, and helping my houseplants live their best lives.
