Who I am

Creative at
every layer.

Motion designer, animator, eLearning developer, and multimedia creative based in Cape Town.

Phila Mvinjelwa

I'm Phila Mvinjelwa — a motion designer and multimedia creative from Cape Town with a genuine love for everything that moves, from animated explainers to 3D game assets.

My background spans motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, eLearning development, graphic design, and game design. I hold a Diploma in Animation from CityVarsity, a Diploma in Computer Based Graphics Development from Rosebank College, and I'm currently working as a Junior Graphic Designer at RightSide Media.

I care about craft. Whether I'm rigging a character, building a learning module, or designing a social post, I want the output to feel considered, polished, and worth someone's attention.
