Ladybird Animation is the work and play of freelance animator, designer, and art director Alex Parker. Usually animating and always caffeinated, Alex is known for bringing fresh looks and mid-century flair to every project, and through partnerships with various agencies has worked on projects for Google, Samsung, EA, and Expedition Roasters, to name a few favorites. She’s currently making magic with Disney’s Parks, Experiences & Products team as a Motion Graphics Designer.
The motto around here is pretty simple: Bright colors. Black coffee.
