Mandie Stanton is a motion design maven who proves that making waves isn't just part of her competitive swimming background - it's her creative signature. This LA-based animation specialist has spent five years turning brands from wallflowers into showstoppers, snagging back-to-back Best in Experiential Design awards at SCAD's CoMotion Conference along the way. While most people see static designs, Mandie sees opportunities for movement, whether she's breathing life into UI elements or crafting social content that actually stops the scroll. And yes, after 15 years as a competitive artistic swimmer, she brings the same precision and flow to her motion graphics as she does to her underwater choreography. Talk about making a splash in multiple pools.
