Sean Frangella

Chicago, IL, USA
I make a lot of different things, everything from motion graphics and animation to logo design and illustration. I'm also pretty good with a camera. Anything that relates to art, I try to have a hand in.

I essentially live the adult version of Mario Paint, sadly without the fly swatter game.

My Specialties: Motion Graphics, Animation, Video Editing, Visual Effects, Video Production, Directing, Cinematography, Sound Design, Graphic Design, Logo design, Package Design, Illustration, Website design, Mobile UI Design.
