KATHERINE BARAGHIMIAN
I'm a motion graphic designer and animator based in Southern California. I hold a Bachelor's of Art degree with a focus in Animation and Design and a minor in Computer Game Design from California State University at Channel Islands.
Since the start of 2025, I've been working at Foundation for Women Warriors, where I continue to expand my expertise in graphic design and video production. Alongside my role at FFWW, I also engage in freelance projects, notably creating motion graphics for clients such as Sideshow Collectibles, providing numerous complex animation sequences, consistent with client branding and aesthetics.
I also worked full time for five years as a Motion Graphic Designer & Video Editor for psycharmor.org - a national nonprofit company that provides free Online Education and support to all Americans who work with, live with or care for Military Service Members, Veterans and their families.
I'm fluent in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), as well as 3D design programs such as ZBrush, Maya, and Cinema4D.
