I lead CNN Motion, an international, multi award-winning, in-house motion graphics team dedicated to crafting visually stunning and impactful content. We specialize in visual content through design, illustration and animation for digital news, video explainers, branding, social media, and interactive experiences. My focus is on editorial design and brand development, ensuring our narratives are both informative and perceptibly powerful.
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 have held roles at TED, Gizmodo, Vimeo, and Al Jazeera English.
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.
