Hello! I am Shixie, a motion and interaction designer in LA. I love helping people make sense of complex ideas through detailed, thoughtful visual design. I have a passion for science, interdisciplinary research, and design futures.
Selected Projects
Collaborations
As a motion graphics designer, I've had the pleasure to worked with brilliant directors and designers at Slanted Studios, Mixtape Club, Block&Tackle and more. Honing a full set of skills in motion design and interdisciplinary thinking, I am currently exploring how design influence the way people interface with technology.
If you have a challenging project in this area, please do not hesitate to contact me! I'm currently open for freelance work.
