Lori Hamasaki
FKA SAMSEL
With over 20 of experience as a Senior Motion Designer and Animator, I specialize in creating compelling visual narratives through 2D and 3D character animation, dynamic typography, and motion graphics. My expertise spans from hand-drawn animation to cutting-edge UI/UX motion design, utilizing industry-leading tools including After Effects, Mocha Pro, Cavalry, and Cinema 4D.
I've had the privilege of delivering high-impact visual experiences for agency clients, broadcast networks, and large-scale events including Hot97 SummerJam, WeBridge Korean Music Festival, and corporate gatherings. Whether crafting responsive templates, developing motion toolkits, or designing for jumbotron displays and fashion shows, I bring technical precision and creative vision to every project.
