Motion Graphics Designer

Surface Laptop SE was built for education, so the UI work needed a different tone than a standard product launch. The screens had to feel simple, legible, and grounded in a school setting.
I worked on the film as a motion designer, creating UI animation for specific scenes built around that education story. Those shots were then handed off to an external studio for integration, so the work had to read clearly on its own and still fit cleanly into their renders.
It was a smaller slice of the overall project, but a precise one. Build the screen story, keep it readable, and make sure the handoff was solid.

  • Animated UI for education-focused scenes that showed Surface Laptop SE in a school context.
  • Built the screen work for handoff to an external studio, with clean integration into their renders in mind.
  • Kept the UI simple and readable so the Windows 11 SE and Microsoft 365 for Education story stayed easy to follow.
