Brian Wachira

Hey there,

I'm Brian Wachira, a graphics designer who specializes in both still and motion graphics.

I've got a Bachelor's degree in Graphics Communication and Advertising from Moi University Main Campus. Over the past 7 years, I've gained valuable experience working in various sectors of the advertising and media industry. I've had the opportunity to contribute my skills in places like TV stations, branding and advertising agencies, and animation studios.

My go-to software for motion graphics is Adobe After Effects, while for still designs, I rely on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. When it comes to 2D animation, I'm proficient in Adobe Fresco and Adobe Animate. On top of graphic design, I've also honed my skills in 2D animation and video editing using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut.

I'm not just about software and design though; I'm a people person. Whether it's working in a team or going solo, I'm comfortable and adaptable. If you bring me on board, I'd love to combine my creative talents with your team's skills to create outstanding content. We can stay on top of current industry trends and maybe even set some new ones to ensure our customers are not just satisfied, but ecstatic about what we produce.
