01 About Me

"SHARING IDEAS THROUGH STORYTELLING."

Hello! I'm Karthik Barathithasan, a 3D Animator and Multimedia Designer with a diverse background in technology, design, and storytelling. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from India, a Postgraduate Diploma in 3D Character Animation from Canada, and a Master of Interaction Design from Australia.

With over two years of professional experience as a 3D Animator and Generalist, I have worked across animation, rendering, video production, and digital content creation. While my primary specialization lies in character animation, my practice extends into UI/UX design, product design, web design, user research, video editing, photo editing, and creative problem-solving.

I believe storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to communicate ideas and create meaningful experiences. My work focuses on combining animation, interaction design, and visual media to transform concepts into engaging narratives. Whether designing interactive installations, crafting user experiences, or producing animated content, I aim to deliver ideas through storytelling.

Outside of academic and professional projects, I enjoy creating short animated films and experimenting with emerging tools and workflows, particularly through vibe coding and rapid prototyping.
