Through bold animation and cinematic storytelling, I help Australian brands and global creators stand out, connect deeply, and leave an impact that lasts long after the screen fades.
Motion Designer | Digital Content Creator | Multimedia Storyteller
I’m an award-winning Multimedia Specialist based in Australia, with over 18 years of experience in motion graphics, designing, and video production. I’ve had the privilege of working with global brands, agencies and studios to create everything from broadcast TVCs to digital-first content for social media.
I truly enjoy what I do, and I approach every project with passion and precision. My goal is always to deliver the best possible result, with a perfectionist’s eye for detail and a can-do attitude that ensures ideas are brought to life at the highest standard.
I specialise in turning ideas into animation that feels alive. From smooth character rigs to expressive motion graphics, I create visuals that move with purpose and personality. Whether it’s shaping clear explainer videos, crafting bold brand intros, or building dynamic content for social and screen, my work blends design, timing, and storytelling to deliver motion that stands out and stays memorable.

Every project has a story. Here are a few highlights from my journey—client projects, personal explorations, and collaborations that shaped me as an artist.
I’ve been working with Nik for about half a year now. He has been doing amazing animating and sound effects work for me. He’s able to turn my acrylic paintings into incredibly interesting, fully looping animated videos with seamless sound. Nik is an experienced animator and sound engineer who is a delight to work with. He has transformed seven of my works into complete two-dimensional animations with matching sound effects so far. I am more satisfied with every finished project! He is adaptable and thus able to anticipate my needs in each job. I work with many animators, and Nik is my favorite for many reasons. He’s efficient, willing to take direction, and understands instructions the first time they are given. He’s always upbeat, even in the face of problematic situations. He has outstanding technical skills and creative imagination, which he uses to make each project the best it can be. I plan on hiring him for many more jobs. @rsconnett EXAMPLES of Nik’s work: https://is.gd/bkeC0h , https://is.gd/vVmLCd , https://is.gd/034yAY ,https://is.gd/h0pTRE , and https://is.gd/9BIIIT
I’ve been working with Nilanka for a couple of years now and can’t sing his praises high enough. The most important element being that he somehow catches my vision and brings it to life – I trust him with our brand and he never disappoints. Nilanka is an excellent animator, easy to work with, goes above and beyond and has helped us establish our voice as a brand through his work. I always look forward to working with him and seeing the magic!
I had the pleasure to work with Nilanka on several projects this past year. He animated some art for us and the entire experience was outstanding! Nilanka has such a gift. His work was always done on time, was flawlessly detailed, and his choices were impeccable. We were constantly asked who did the work because it was so captivating. If you have a project that demands perfection, I would highly suggest hiring Nilanka because you won’t find anyone better!
Whether you’re a brand, an agency, or a fellow creative, I’d love to collaborate. Share your idea, and together we’ll craft visuals that inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impact.
