Portrait of Nadia Shenasi

Designer, animator,
storyteller.

I’m Nadia Shenasi, a graphic and motion designer based in Los Angeles. I create brand animation, title sequences and visual identities, bringing together typography, 2D and 3D animation, compositing and video editing. Painting and photography are part of my practice, too—they keep me looking closely at colour, light and form.

My experience spans apparel graphics and print production through to digital campaigns and motion design. I’ve created brand and motion work for ORIGYN Foundation, FlashHoops and Sparkling Jewelry, from app-launch social ads to trade show visuals. That production background shapes how I work: I care about the idea and how it carries through to the final deliverable.

At sixteen, I spent three months working at the Sea Lab aquarium. I was nervous at first, but it became an experience I loved. It showed me how much we can grow by stepping into unfamiliar places, and deepened a curiosity about marine life that still finds its way into my work.

The ocean draws my attention to organic forms and transformation. Martial arts gives me another way to think about rhythm, control and the balance between stillness and action. I enjoy bringing those observations into my design work—and collaborating with others to turn an idea into a finished piece.
