Hi, I'm Ali!
I am a recently graduated Motion Designer from Winnipeg, MB! I love using colour, movement and sound to create compelling animations! Check out my work below!

Frame By Frame Animated Lyric Video
Using Adobe Animate for the first time, I wanted to incorporate my American Sign Language Skills and my love for K-pop together and create a music/lyric video for the song 'Night Off' by NND.I first filmed myself signing the portion of the lyrics that I wanted to use and imported it into Animate so I could rotoscope it. I drew it at 12 frames per second and matched up the movement with the lyrics. I then transferred the animation into After Effects to add the text and finishing touches!
Sample Mobile Festival Promo
I created a mobile music festival promo video for Trout Forest Music Festival 2025.
I wanted to keep a consistent colour palette and shapes that gave off the calm folk vibes of this festival. I paid close attention to the typography as I wanted it to be readable but also groovy and of the 80's.
I made the transitions between the frames as if they were all connected as one cohesive image.
Rubberhose Character Animation
Using the Rubberhose extension in After Effects I created a sample character walk cycle.
This character is a ghost rabbit that is nervous and shy who comes across a box that contains a big surprise!
This animation was a lot of fun with being able to bring a character I created to life while creating a believable walk cycle.
Small World 3D Build
Using Cinema 4D I created a small mushroom cabin animation build. I wanted this to look like it was miniature by making the grass blades large and adding elements like a plastic fork and a large flower and butterfly.
Each piece was modelled in Cinema 4D and animated using cloners.
I added lights to the mushroom house to accentuate the details of the bushes and the window. I also wanted the lighting to look like the sun was setting on a summer day.
Duolingo Logo End Card Animation
For this assignment, we created an end card animation for a logo/company. I wanted to incorporate Duolingo's fun and whimsical identity in the animation.I went through a few iterations as I was unsure of the direction I wanted to go in at the beginning, but I decided that, leaning into the success motifs that the app uses, I also incorporated the success sound effect that the app uses.

Resilia Community Wellness Center Logo Reveal Animation
As part of my 3-week work placement at Honest Agency, I had the absolute pleasure of creating a logo reveal animation for Resilia Community Wellness Center. I used the heads of the previous logo image to swirl and duplicate them to then settle and create the image for the new logo. I also added music that matched the brand and the animation.
Please check out Honest Agency and their Lemonade Project which made this rebrand possible.
Rebecca Chartrand Social Media Posts
I created some social media posts for Rebecca Chartrand and her 2025 election campaign. It was important to make sure the information was clear and professional and showcase Rebecca well. I used the Liberal colour scheme of red and white to maintain consistency in the post and followed what the team wanted for post styles.

'Wired for Happiness" Fundraising Event Poster
Created a poster for 'Wired for Happiness' Fundraising event by Happy Monkey Club. The client required that all relevant information was included in a 600x600px image that could be shared on social media and the ticket website. I used the colours from the Happy Monkey Club branding to create a fun but also professional design.
