I'm Valeri👋

I’m the founder of Design in Motion School and run a motion design studio called Valeri Visuals. I help creatives like you master After Effects and turn their skills into high-paying, in-demand work.

I’ve taught motion design at branding companies, mentored students 1-on-1, and created courses that have helped hundreds of creatives gain confidence and real results.

Why I Teach

I didn’t grow up with money, mentors, or a clear path, just a deep love for art and design. After earning my degree in visual communication and working at an animation studio, I realized something: what truly lit me up wasn’t just creating, it was helping others do the same.

I know what it’s like to feel lost, to doubt yourself, or to think you're “not good enough” to succeed as a creative. That’s exactly why I teach. Now, I share everything I’ve learned to help others build real motion design skills, gain confidence, and start creating work they’re proud of.

Let’s master motion design together — and turn your talent into results.
