Howdy! 🤠
I’m Dorian Barranco (they/them), a motion designer & illustrator.
Whether I’m animating videos about blind salamanders or caviar, I’m fueled by genuine curiosity about the world around me. I enjoy working in a variety of styles and bringing animated projects from initial concept all the way through to final execution! I’m especially passionate about editorial and educational projects, particularly about the natural world, the LGBTQ+ community, and social justice issues. When I'm not making art and animation, I enjoy playing the piano, whisking matcha, and talking about cats.
I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY, where I work as a Senior Motion Designer at Business Insider.
