Hello friends!
My name is Yaya and I'm a motion designer living in London with my partner and our little cute dog named Woohoo.
I love going for walks in nature, cooking delicious foods, playing music, dance, and party with friends in the weekends.
Obsessed with motion, armed with animation tools, and inspired by the real world - I enjoy injecting life, playfulness and energy into designs, characters, and brands as a whole.
Excited to create content and share my knowledge here on Skillshare:))
