Johan Eriksson





Hi, I'm Johan Eriksson, a Motion Designer and Illustrator based in Brooklyn. As a Senior Animator at the global creative company BUCK in New York, I lead projects with an imaginative vision for modern animation and technical expertise, bringing compelling narratives, dynamic designs, and close attention to detail to each project.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with major clients, including Apple, Google, Netflix, Spotify, Microsoft, Nike, Cartoon Network, Meta, Figma, Verizon, Chase, NBA, Twitter, McDonald’s, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and many others. The diversity of these collaborations has enriched my creative journey, constantly pushing me to explore new ideas and refine my craft.

I’m committed to bold, playful art that brings a touch of childlike whimsy to my work. I believe in balancing innovation with the same sense of joy and wonder that first inspired me to pursue this field. Outside of my role at BUCK, I've also shared my expertise by teaching at Hyper Island and contributing to the educational programs at School of Motion.
