Amir Vafaei

Eighteen years ago, I began my animation journey armed with nothing but paper, a scanner, and an old computer. Since then, I’ve developed from an independent creator into a professional 2D animator with a strong command of visual storytelling, motion graphics, and sound design. My experience spans client-based projects, music videos, and award-winning independent animations, each driven by a commitment to artistic innovation and technical precision.

​

I specialize in crafting visually engaging, emotionally resonant animations that combine creativity with strong narrative purpose. My work merges traditional 2D techniques with modern digital tools, transforming complex ideas into accessible, captivating stories. One of my projects, Take a Drag, exemplifies this approach, an experimental animation that challenges conventional storytelling through bold visual language and immersive sound design.

​

I believe impactful art reaches beyond niche audiences, and I strive to create work that resonates broadly while maintaining artistic integrity. Inspired by artists like Tim Burton, I value projects that balance creative experimentation with commercial appeal, bridging the gap between art and audience expectations.

​

As a passionate artist, I bring both creative vision and technical skill to collaborative environments. I’m proficient in Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe After Effects, and Premiere, with additional expertise in music composition and sound design, enabling me to approach animation holistically. I’m eager to contribute to a team where I can help shape compelling stories, support innovative visual concepts, and continue to grow through creative collaboration.
