Hello! My name is Chelsea Parrish -- a Motion Designer and Graphic Artist based in Los Angeles. I believe motion design can make complex ideas simple. Growing up, textbooks didn't click for me, but visuals did. I use motion graphics to help others understand things more clearly.
With 10 years of freelance experience, I've created everything from tiny stickers for non-profits to giant billboards for Netflix. I love collaborating with clients to bring ideas to life through clean, engaging, and educational design and animation.
As a one-stop-shop, I handle creative direction, graphic design, animation, editing, and delivering. You can see the breakdown of my process on the SERVICES page.
Need help with a project? I offer a free 45-minute consultation by phone, Zoom, or even in person over coffee. Let's talk about how motion design can work for you.

TESTIMONIALS
“Highly Recommended: I have been working with Chelsea Parrish for the past year. Her punctuality, attention to detail, and ability to deliver outside the box make her unique and effective. Encompass this all with a great personality, great attitude, and an awesome skill set! // Nick Martinez (Who Has It @CenterStaging)
“Chelsea excels at multi-tasking and works efficiently (and with a great sense of humor) when under pressure. I've seen Chelsea work independently and as part of a team, and in both situations she's an asset. Not only does Chelsea bring sharpened skills to the table, she's also a keen observer of others - and is able to gently offer suggestions that can bring large projects in for a safe landing." // Jessie Steigerwald (LexSeeHer, Inc.)
“Chelsea is always quick to lend a hand and a true team player. She’s a fast learner and will always strive to make sure that both the team and client are satisfied. It’s truly been a pleasure. Any employer would be lucky to have her!" // Gabriella Nuovo (SidLee)
“I cannot speak highly enough about Chelsea. Her organizational skills, work ethic, initiative, creativity, attention to detail, punctuality, and reliability. She is a true master of logistics. I recommend Chelsea without hesitation and with great enthusiasm.” // Jurgen von Mahs (The New School)
ABOUT ME
I have been a freelancer for 10 years. I started out in live events as a stage manager and events coordinator in New York. That part of my career taught to lead, collaborate, and perform under pressure -- skills that now deeply inform how I work as a designer.
But design is really who I am and when I come alive. As someone who's always learned better through visuals than text, motion design gave me a way to understand and communicate ideas more clearly, and to help others do the same.
After a decade in NYC, I Eat-Pray-Loved my way to Los Angeles and now edit videos under the sun and the palm trees.
Outside of the studio, I'm a bookworm (thanks to years of subway rides), a Procreate artist, a RomCom fanatic, and a 3rd-wave barista; yes, I still pull espresso shots on the weekends. I'm also an eternal optimist and someone who truly believes that good design can make life a little easier.
