Hello, I'm Jessica Weitzel.
I'm a VFX and Motion Design Generalist with a genuine passion for bringing BIG ideas to life. Originally from Minnesota, I now call Cleveland, Ohio, home, having gained valuable industry experience all across the country for over a decade.
Early in my career, I earned a BFA in Multimedia Design at the University of Wisconsin Stout. Over the last 12 years, I’ve cultivated my expertise as a VFX and Motion Design Generalist, specializing in 2D and 3D animation, compositing, 3D modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting, particles, and liquid effects. In my most recent role as the Lead VFX Artist within Nestle's In-House Creative Agency, the LEAD, I had the privilege of assisting my director, Christian Feliciano, in building and leading a team of extremely talented VFX artists. As a team, we crafted best-in class creative for many of the worlds largest food brands.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with teams that share my goals and passion for video, producing a diverse range of work, including explainer videos, trade show visuals, sport center graphic packages, commercials, and social media campaigns.
My greatest joy lies in designing work that captivates emotions and sparks wonder. I approach creative challenges with imagination, focused on results and a keen eye for those small but crucial details.
Beyond the pixels and keyframes, I find solace in the great outdoors, music, cooking, and gaming. Whether exploring our favorite places again and again or discovering new destinations with my husband and three dogs, my love for adventure is as boundless as my creativity. Each of my passions enriches my life and inspires my work.
I look forward to working through the next challenge together.
Feel free to explore my portfolio, and don’t hesitate to reach out for inquiries or to connect.
Let’s create something magical!
