About

The person
behind the pixels.

I'm Nicolas Tan, a motion and graphic designer based in Arlington, VA. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling and visual craft; I believe the best animations don't just look good, they make complex things feel easy to comprehend.

I've worked with major brands including bp, UPS, PhRMA, and Rosetta Stone, as well as government affairs clients where clarity and persuasion are everything. Currently open to new collaborations.

My toolkit is anchored in After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, with a background that spans motion graphics, illustration, and interactive design. I'm constantly learning and expanding my skillset by incorporating AI tools and workflows in this fast paced world.
