I’m Donna Bennett, a motion designer and 3D artist based in Oakland, California. I create distinctive visual work for brands and creative projects, combining motion, CGI, illustration, and design with a focus on strong concepts and visual storytelling.
My background spans architecture, 3D visualization, computer animation, VFX, and game development. I’ve spent more than a decade creating 3D visualizations and AR experiences at Houzz, along with earlier work on games including SimCity and The Sims 3 at Electronic Arts.
That experience shapes how I approach creative work: from developing an idea and establishing its visual language to building and finishing the final image, animation, or experience. I enjoy moving between graphic design, product visualization, illustration, and cinematic 3D.
Today, I work independently through Donna Bennett Designs, bringing together technical experience and a multidisciplinary design sensibility to create thoughtful, visually distinctive work.
Have a project in mind? I’d love to hear about it.
