I’m C.J. Paghasian, a Filipino-American Motion Designer and Digital Illustrator based in Washington, D.C. I’m fortunate to be making creative work for a living.

I’m currently working with some very smart folks to tell stories about Climate Change. My process involves script editing, storyboarding, illustration, animation, and sound design.

I’m originally from a little town called Seaside, California. Ironically, I’m allergic to fish.

TESTIMONIALS

Here are some nice things clients have said about me.

If you tell C.J. to grow a sprout, you would come back in 7-10 business days to a whole forest. I directed C.J. and some other animators on a huge production for our studio — our very first animation project, I should add. Not only did he fully jump in ready to work, C.J. helped implement new protocols & strategies for animation projects that we still use to this day. He is intrinsically motivated and it shows through his constant hustle. If you have C.J. on your team, consider your work done. He’s never proven otherwise for us.
— Jillian Nguyen, Executive Producer of Aggie Studios
We hired C.J. to create a couple of animations for a video explaining the workings of a water treatment plan. He did an outstanding job, bringing in many creative ideas, presenting a number of options and executing them with technical precision. He was a pleasure to work with: punctual to all our appointments, asking all the right questions, knowing when to push for something and when to just let go and go along. I recommend him highly and look forward to working with him again soon.
— Angie & Andy, Producer & Director of eIMAGE Video Productions
I’ve worked with C.J. on multiple motion graphics projects and it’s always a pleasure. C.J. has delivered dynamic, creative, and technically savvy animations that are always met with acclaim from the end client. His professionalism and quick turnaround times make him an outstanding choice for my motion graphics needs. In the past we’ve worked together on animated maps of California water systems and I’m excited to expand our work together in the future!
