I’m Tian Hughes, a Lead Motion Designer with extensive experience shaping creative teams and driving large-scale projects from concept to delivery. I specialize in storytelling through design and animation, consistently delivering work that’s on time, on budget, and on brand. Equally comfortable leading creative teams or taking a project solo, I’ve partnered with global brands such as Walmart, Lowe’s, Nintendo, Straight Talk Wireless, JP Morgan Chase, Pepsi, Taco Bell, Fidelity, and Dr Pepper, creating work that strengthens brand identity and leaves a lasting impact with audiences.

Craft & Storytelling – Design and animation that support create narratives
Excellence & Reliability – Projects delivered on time, on budget, and on brand
Growth & Versatility – Adaptability across roles, challenges, and creative mediums
Creativity with Precision – Imagination balanced with disciplined execution
