Hello :)
I’m Hyeji from South Korea, a motion graphic designer and illustrator based in London.
Over the past 10 years, I have worked on motion graphic projects, illustrations, and artwork in Korea, the UK, and Germany. My experience spans a variety of motion design areas, including brand motion, GFX for movies and documentaries, web animation, explainer videos, and social media content. Additionally, I have contributed to commercial and promotional illustrations and motion artwork, collaborating with various brands.
Despite my broad work experience, I have a particular passion for visual storytelling centered around characters and illustrations. I’m excited to work on character-based and artwork-focused projects.
I’m always open to new opportunities and exciting collaborations, including freelance work (which I’ve been doing in my spare time since 2013).

Freelance motion graphic designer & illustrator - whenever I’m available
I love visualising my original ideas and making pieces of artwork, using my artwork skills. Since I graduated from my university, I have worked on freelance projects whenever I’m available. So I worked on motion graphic style frames for IBM, and I created promotional illustrations for Häagen-Dazs. Also, I collaborated with my previous company and produced motion graphic artwork for Nexon and Dr Jart.
