Julia Kharitonova

CG Generalist and Motion Designer

I specialize in dynamic animation and high-quality rendering. I take a deliberate approach at every stage of a project: working through details carefully, making considered decisions and staying on top of quality. I have experience both working in a team and running projects independently.

Clients note clear communication and reliable deadlines. I cover the full production cycle — from style development and storyboarding to the final render.
