About Kenji

I work as a motion and 3D designer for digital products. Most of my week is spent animating interface concepts, making product renders for landing pages and building small interactive animations that ship inside apps.

I started in graphic design, so I teach 3D and motion for people who think visually but find the software intimidating. We focus on the handful of tools and settings that do most of the work: modelling with modifiers in Blender, lighting and rendering with Cycles and EEVEE, the graph editor in After Effects, and state machines in Rive.

I keep projects small and finishable. You will not spend hours on a scene you never complete. Each course ends with pieces you can put in a portfolio or hand to a developer.

Exactly what I needed

I make landing pages and needed my own product visuals. Three finished renders by the end, all usable.

State machines explained clearly

I had used Rive only for timelines. Building the like button state machine showed me how much logic can live in the file.

Lottie section was practical

Knowing which features Lottie does not support saved me from rebuilding animations after developers tested them.

Finally productive in Blender

I had started Blender three times and quit. Focusing only on product work made it stick, and my speaker render is now on our homepage.

Very developer friendly course

As a front end developer I finally understand what to ask designers for. The React lesson was short and practical.

The graph editor finally makes sense

I had been using easy ease on everything. The lesson on shaping ease out curves changed my work overnight.

Portfolio ready projects

The loading character is now the centrepiece of my portfolio. Bones and constraints felt approachable after this.

Glass bottle project was great

Labels on curved surfaces always looked wrong in my attempts. The UV and decal lessons solved it.
