Hi, I'm Gabi! I'm a 2D animator with over 10 years of experience servicing the advertising and e-learning industries. I've been freelancing for 7 years and have been specialising in character animation in After Effects, as well as hand-drawn cel animation in various drawing programs (Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony & TV Paint).
I'm also co-founder of Motion Design South Africa, and organiser of Motion Design CPT - where we host meetup events and workshops for the Cape Town motion design community.

“As someone who has successfully produced motion graphics professionally for 20 years but has been struggling in the current job market for seven months, hearing the words "amateur" and "beginner" wasn't constructive and seemed unusually severe.”
“I had an exceptional session with my mentor, who truly exceeded my expectations. Their amazing communication skills made complex topics easy to understand, while their deep subject knowledge provided valuable insights. They motivated me to tackle challenges with confidence and demonstrated impressive problem-solving abilities.”
“Gabriella is an amazing mentor! She gave me super helpful feedback on my showreel that really elevated it, and explained everything clearly and professionally. On top of that, she’s incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process enjoyable and motivating. I’m really grateful for her support and ideas!”
