MINA VALIZADEH

I am a seasoned Art Director and Sr. Motion Designer with 10 years of experience excelling in team leadership, creative ideation, and motion design across various styles for marketing, trailer, social and branding. 

​

Since 2015, I’ve led ideation and design for major clients including Paramount, Netflix, Warner Bros., HBO Max, Nat Geo, Apple TV, Disney+, and Peacock. For me, everything begins with a strong idea; design and animation are the tools I use to bring that idea and story to life. Several campaigns I’ve spearheaded have contributed to viewership increases of up to 80% for major streaming programs.

 

Education

After earning a diploma in mathematics, I went on to pursue a BFA in Graphic Design and an MA in Illustration from Tehran University. Subsequently,

I received a scholarship to complete an MFA in Motion Media Design at Savannah College of Art and Design. 

My background in graphic design, illustration, animation, and cinematography gives me a unique skill set for creating and leading impactful brands and campaigns.
