Before I go any further, you should know that…
Good design simply doesn’t cut it any more.
My secret to landing all of these clients stems from just ONE powerful tool in my skill set that gives me an unfair advantage over countless other designers. If you get this ONE thing right, you too can win pitch after pitch after pitch with an endless roster of household name brand companies that pay you top dollar for your jaw-dropping work!
That ONE thing is...
Knowing how to intentionally design and pitch UI Animation.

My Journey…
Hi, my name is Issara Willenskomer and I’m an award-winning designer and one of the industry’s leading UX motion experts.
But I started off, just like a lot of designers, working on app and website projects. I had zero motion experience. I really enjoyed having full ownership over my projects, because doing great work was important to me.
The first time I became aware of the power of motion in product design was when I was doing the design work on a next generation shopping collaboration between Microsoft and Target.
I was working on the static designs and had an idea of how to transition between the screens.
Because I didn’t know how to animate, we ended up hiring a motion expert. I remember handing off my design assets to him and not really knowing what to expect.
Several days later he presented his work and my jaw hit the floor.
I jumped from design into the world of motion graphics. I started at the bottom and had top animators teach me on the job working on high end video projects for clients like MTV, Fanta, HBO, Xbox, Baskin Robbins, and more. I immediately began animating UI, because I could see the power it had.
Keep in mind, I had almost NO animation experience. I never went to school for this.
Obsession precedes innovation…
As one of the few UX designers/animators in the industry (this was a few years ago) I began to get more work.
Some of those clients included Facebook, Twitter, HBO, Target, Microsoft, XBox, Motorola, TMobile, Nordstrom, Philips, AT&T, and more.
In all these projects, there was this agreement that motion was ‘cool’.
Over the course of several years, I must have watched thousands of UI animations on places like Dribble, Pinterest, Behance, and on real world apps on my phone. I obsessively interacted with the same screen, looping things over and over, trying to see what it was doing to my mind.
Then one day... I broke through...
On all my projects I would ask the Product Managers what they felt the value of motion was. Nobody could answer, except that they thought it was cool.
But I knew there was more, I just wasn't able to see it.
I knew I had gold in my hands and had to share it with the world.
So I spent another 6 months researching further and finally published a landmark essay on Usability and Motion.
This essay went viral and is up to 700,000+ views!
From this essay, I developed a framework that was so cutting-edge and effective that corporate teams have been hiring me to teach it to their design teams.
These companies include Dropbox, Slack, Oracle, Salesforce, Airbnb, Kayak, Capital One and more.
Conquered my challenges...
If you’re like most of us, your mind is probably going at a thousand miles an hour, coming up with a million reasons which you can’t reach the same level of success. I learned this was the #1 most common experience for designers.
It’s easy to understand why I felt overwhelmed, the multiplicity of layers and timelines was crippling. The obstacles didn’t stop there as my mind would come up with more reasons to give up. But I was determined and came up with my own methods to crush those barriers and reach my goal.
Challenge 1: If I had hundreds of layers, this was hundreds of timelines I had to mentally navigate. It was hopeless.
So I developed my own system and framework for ‘grouping’ layers so that I could manage my overwhelm.
Challenge 2: Another roadblock was that the interface was too complex. It’s hard for anyone not to be intimidated the first time they open After Effects.
So I came up with the solution of creating custom workspaces.
Challenge 3: Still another challenge I faced was not knowing how to vet and qualify my motion ideas.
I solved this problem with my motion and usability framework.
Challenge 4: One last challenge I’ll mention here is that I had NO good systems and frameworks for producing high quality work super fast.
I invented my own systems and frameworks that I used on all my professional projects and that you'll get in the course.
Putting all million pieces of the puzzle together in a simple, clear, step-by-step process became my Superpower.
I mastered processes that I’ve packaged up into this master certification course for…
Making any design portfolio stand out among the crowd of competition for any job or project you pursue
Effectively communicating design ideas to clients, team members, stakeholders and engineers
Handing off quality assets to engineers, developers and other stakeholders
Attracting endless top-notch clients at higher fees
Because of my philosophy of using motion to have a strong portfolio, I was able to win pitches and work on UI motion projects for clients including...
Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Nordstrom, HBO, Target, Hanes, AT&T, T-Mobile, Philips, MTV, UNAIDS, and many more!
Being able to design AND animate proved an unfair advantage
Seriously, I remember cases where I was competing literally against hundreds of designers (on highly competitive open to public pitching) and consistently winning the project. It was almost scary.
