“Design is one, If you can design one thing, you can design everything.”
A great quote from the great designer, Massimo Vignelli makes me more confident whenever I feel lost between the things I love.
I am an Art Director, Illustrator, Motion Designer & Animator based in LA, California. I have worked for various clients such as Riot Games, Prodigy Games, Nestle, Subway, Dubai TV, MBC group, and many more. A father of two (so far), a husband, and a family man passionate about art. It is hard to sum up everything I’m interested in, I would just say that my main focus is creating visuals, telling stories, and making things move.
Below, I gathered some quotes I like for great artists and animators.
