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’m a Jamaican-Italian art director based in New York. I grew up on the Ligurian coast of Italy, spent my teens in Berlin, and later studied and worked in London as a motion graphics designer. Work and life have taken me across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, before landing in New York for a creative role.
Starting over in new places has shaped how I work: curious, adaptable and grounded in a beginner’s mindset. I've had the chance to collaborate with teams at TED, Gizmodo, Vimeo, Al Jazeera English and others.
Outside of work, I teach and practice yoga, appreciate interior design, spend time with people I love, and travel. I care about creativity, balance, wellness, and social justice.
