Ever since I was little, I loved to watch television, especially “MTV”, it was one of my favorites. Whenever a show ended, a logo with the letters “MTV" popped up. It was a very short moment but I felt the letters were alive and the colors and sound effects added to the impact. I knew that it's called motion graphics and begun searching for schools with Motion Graphics Programs and decided to study abroad.
I am a recent graduate with a degree in Design from School of Visual Arts in New York. After graduation, I started my internship at Gretelwhich is a modern design studio in NYC and now I am doing my first professional job as a freelance designer at Gretel. I work a wide range of design work but two main focuses are brand identity and visual interaction.
My top five design crushes right now are:
Dieter Rams, Karel Martens, Fredun Shapur, Eike König, and Jonny Johansson.
I keep asking myself a few questions, “Is it a reflection of myself?”, "Is there anything fun to do?”, “Is this something new?"
I hope I live and work in a foreign country, maybe Europe, in the next five years. I know it will take time to adapt to new surroundings, a new culture and a new lifestyle. But it will be a really refreshing experience to get in touch with myself and my field if I am in a new place.
Do not trust anyone.
