Hi, I'm Kalika Kharkar Sharma—motion design & video agency founder, educator, wife & mother.

My work has appeared on Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, PBS, CNBC, & the iHeartRadio Music Festival. I've partnered with Carnegie Hall, United Way of NYC, Brooks Brothers & more. But my passion is teaching.

This channel is for anyone who's been underserved by the creative industry — women, people of color, first-generation designers, and anyone asking "Is this for me?" or "Where do I start?" Motion design has real gatekeeping problems. I'm here to change that.

I teach creative foundations, practical workflows, & career-building skills with an emphasis on confidence and clarity. Many of my students come from adjacent fields or are returning to creativity after a pause. If that sounds like you, you belong here.

I've taught at NYU, Pratt Institute, and Noble Desktop, and hold degrees from RISD & NYU.
