Denise Vargas Designs

I am a creative and detail-oriented Senior Motion Graphics Designer with over ten years of experience working across diverse projects in the sports, news, and entertainment industries. Known for thriving in high-pressure environments, I consistently meet tight deadlines while delivering visually compelling content. I have a deep passion for the creative process, particularly in brainstorming and collaborating with teams to craft captivating motion graphics that entertain, inform, and engage audiences worldwide.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Motion Designer at Major League Soccer (MLS), where I lead a team of three and manage creative requests while facilitating cross-departmental collaboration. My work includes designing and animating custom content such as show opens, lower thirds, transitions, and motion graphics for broadcasts, social media, web, and in-stadium use. Additionally, I develop graphics and artwork for video programming and social platforms, supervise freelancers, and manage multiple projects from concept to final delivery. I also mentor producers and editors in using motion graphics templates. Prior to MLS, I worked as a Motion Designer at Madison Square Garden, where I designed for the New York Knicks, Rangers, and Liberty, executing fast-paced projects and handling tasks such as color correction, green screen compositing, and brand packaging. Earlier in my career, I worked at ABC News, contributing to high-priority projects across various shows, including World News, Good Morning America, and Nightline, producing daily graphics and animations under tight deadlines.
