I’m a multi-disciplinary visual and motion designer with over 10 years of experience, based in Emeryville, CA.

As a freelancer, I specialize in motion design, branding, and illustration—developing creative solutions that not only look great but perform with purpose. I help clients tell their stories through visual design systems and motion graphics that align with their goals, speak to their audiences, and drive engagement across digital platforms.

Whether I’m crafting a bold new brand identity, elevating a user's experience, or animating graphics that stop the scroll, my approach is grounded in strategy, empathy, and execution. I aim to deliver work that balances visual excellence with measurable results.

Outside of design, you’ll find me training in martial arts, exploring Buddhist philosophy, or creating oddly satisfying stop-motion loops (check them out on my IG @arupa.studio).
