Overview
CoinDesk is a leading cryptocurrency news agency known for its YouTube livestreams, social media content, and the flagship crypto event, Consensus.
My primary role involved designing and animating motion graphics for social media, livestream assets, and YouTube content. I also illustrated and animated explainer videos for their channels.
For Consensus, I created the opening title sequence and animated on-stage background visuals for speakers. Additionally, I developed a comprehensive livestream toolkit, which included lower thirds, break transitions, wait screens, and sponsor logo animations.
