About me

Man in black shirt and khaki pants kneeling on stage with arms outstretched, flanked by two large traditional drums. A smaller drum is in front of him on the stage floor, in a concert hall with wooden floors and wall panels.
A young man with glasses and a beard sitting at a desk with a computer and graphic design software open. There are headphones around his neck and a keyboard and mouse in front of him. The room has a window with blinds and shelves on the wall with decorative items.

Hi, I'm Daniel Walton.

I'm a Motion and Graphic Designer with a BFA in Graphic Design from Central Washington University.

While my background is rooted in traditional design principles, typography, and brand identity, my main focus is bringing static visuals to life through motion. I specialize in After Effects animation, working on 3D product promos, kinetic typography packages, and fluid UI interactions.

Whether I'm building modular template systems or animating brand identities, I love taking static assets and turning them into clean, high-impact motion pieces.

Software & Tools

  • Primary Tools: Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign

  • Digital & Web: Figma, HTML, CSS

Experience & Background

My time leading student organizations and running promo campaigns helped me learn how to manage real design projects from start to finish. From creating brand identities to building event graphics, merch, and social content, I bring practical problem solving, good asset organization, and strong collaboration to any team.
