“What is my job about”- Motion Designer

Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got interested in design?

Illustrations and design had already taken their place in my life at three years old. I often woke up at four in the morning and drew for hours. As a child, I painted the walls of the house, using many bright colors. My creativity was inspired by animated films, musical films, and puppet theater. I inherited an interest for art and colors from my family, especially from my grandfather who works as a sculptor.

While studying computer science at university, working with colleagues on external and personal projects, I would always take the design side because I found it very interesting. It’s also an important way to connect with with clients visually. After a year and a half of working as a graphic designer, I discovered my passion for animations – a magic tool to give life to static images, and an outlet to express myself visually in animated movements.
