Hi, I’m Devin!

I’m a Senior Motion Designer with 8 years of experience.

I’ve spent the bulk of my career at The Mill, where I grew from Junior Designer to Senior Designer, collaborating on high-end commercial, brand, and a few experiential projects along the way. My work spans design, animation, and CG. I’m someone who thrives on staying organized, calm under pressure, and tuned in to the little details.

These days, I’m freelancing and enjoying the creative flexibility that comes with it. My strengths, and the parts I enjoy most, are editorial-driven storytelling, animation (2D and 3D), and design.

Living along the outskirts of Chicago with my husband and two daughters, you’ll find me trying to keep up with toddler energy, working on my small online shop, or catching up on a TV series.

I share the occasional project or bit of inspiration over on Instagram @devleehayes.

Currently open for freelance opportunities.
