A few weeks ago we had a guidance call with Alejandra.
Alejandra has a strong background in graphic design and is now focusing on building her motion design portfolio and finding clients.
During our call, we discussed how to navigate the transition from graphic design to motion design.
Here it’s also a roadmap handled to her with notes to check how to continue on her next steps.
