Resume

Yang Kaiyo is a motion designer and visual creator based in New York City, with over five years of experience working across creative studios, production companies, and marketing agencies. His work blends narrative rhythm with visual clarity, spanning social media content, commercials, branded videos, and educational pieces. Versatile in style yet consistent in quality, Kaiyo brings a refined artistic sensibility to every project.

A graduate of the MFA Computer Arts program at the School of Visual Arts, he specializes in animation, compositing, and post-production. He thrives within creative constraints, finding ways to push boundaries while staying true to brand goals. His portfolio includes collaborations across industries such as automotive, media, tech, and lifestyle, where he has demonstrated both technical precision and creative fluency.

Alongside his design career, Kaiyo has been a percussionist for over two decades, performing in symphonic bands and drumlines. This musical background shapes his sensitivity to timing, sound, and rhythm, allowing him to craft motion work that feels both cohesive and alive.
