Hey, I’m Jay
I’m a Senior Motion Artist with nearly 10 years of experience in the ad industry.
I hold a wide array of skills across the 2D and 3D generalist medium, working primarily in Adobe After Effects, but also Blender and Unreal.
I’ve worked in a studio environment for my whole career, starting as an assistant editor, until I fell in love with motion design and became obsessed with learning new techniques and skills.
On top of attention to detail in the work itself, I take immense pride in understanding systems and pipelines - balancing craft and efficiency to deliver solutions for clients, on target and on time.
Why HANSOL?
Though I’m a huge Star Wars fan, it’s not a reference to ‘Han Solo’ as I often get.
Han-Sol is simply my Korean name. Though not officially printed on my birth certificate, it’s a reminder of my bi-racial heritage as a Korean-American, given to me by my Umma.
HANSOL has been my username, gamertag, and my brand.
It translates to ‘Korean Pine’, Korea’s national tree, symbolizing strength and resilience. It can also mean ‘taking care’ and ‘pursuit’ which I equivocate to how I approach delivering for clients and improving and expanding on my skillsets.
