Emily Gentile is a motion graphics designer currently

working at Yale University’s Poorvu Center for Teaching

and Learning, where she creates animated content that helps

bring complex academic ideas to life. Her work often sits at the intersection of design, research, and education, with a particular interest in making dense information more accessible through motion. She enjoys finding the visual language that makes an idea click, whether that means visualizing data, developing a graphic system for a course, or experimenting with new approaches to animation.

 

  Before joining Yale, Emily worked in higher education marketing and video production, where she contributed to multiple documentary projects and created video content across a wide range of formats. She works primarily in Adobe After Effects and Premiere, using motion graphics and animation to strengthen visual storytelling, and has experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that allows her to build custom Essential Graphics and templates for video workflows. She is always looking for new ways to expand her creative practice, from 3D animation and projection mapping to experimenting with new tools and techniques.
