ABOUT JP Bonoan
I'm JP, a motion designer based in Toronto who loves creating character-driven work, mixed media animation, and stories inspired by food, people, and everyday moments.
Drawing from a background in animation, illustration, stop-motion, and design, I create work that blends movement, storytelling, and visual experimentation. I'm particularly interested in projects that combine craft, personality, and human connection—whether through motion graphics, animated content, or creative storytelling experiences.
