VIVIAN DEMAUREX
MOTION DESIGNER - ART DIRECTOR - EDUCATOR
Statement
I’m a motion designer and art director with over 10 years of experience in the video production industry. I’m originally from Switzerland and now living in Vancouver, Canada. In addition to my freelance work, I joined the team at School of Motion as a Teaching Assistant for VFX for Motion, C4D Basecamp and Animation Bootcamp courses.
I’m looking forward to pursuing my career by working with outstanding studios and helping students achieve their goals and jump into this thriving industry.
