“SATLINK-OV1: Operational Viewpoint Interface”
What I enjoy most about working at the principal level in motion design is creating systems rather than only outputs. Building tools that expand team capability eliminates repetitive production tasks, improves consistency, and shifts motion design at scale from producing individual graphics to designing the infrastructure that enables better workflows.
I developed an internal Adobe After Effects plugin that transforms world map and geospatial data into a motion design workflow built for rapid scene generation. The tool allows designers to navigate a globe interface, define waypoints and regions of interest, and automatically generate layered compositions across multiple aspect ratios. The tool streamlines map-driven sequences used in defense media, broadcast graphics, situational awareness, and technical communication by creating composition-ready assets directly inside After Effects.
