I lead CNN Motion, an international, multi-award-winning motion graphics team that turns news into visual storytelling. With expertise in design, illustration, and animation, we create compelling content for digital news, video explainers, branding, social media, and interactive experiences.
About me:
I am a Jamaican-Italian art director based in Brooklyn, NY. Raised on the Ligurian coast of Italy and having spent my adolescence in Berlin, I later studied and worked in London as a motion graphics designer. My life and work have taken me across Europe, Asia and the Middle East before a professional opportunity brought me to New York City. I’ve had the privilege of working with TED, Gizmodo, Vimeo, Al Jazeera English, and others.
I spend most of my free time practicing and teaching yoga, being creative ( ❤️ interior design), in the company of friends and family, and traveling. I value creativity, wellness, balance, and social justice.
