About Me
I’m Maya, a Palestinian motion graphics designer based in the UK. With six years of experience in the field, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with marketing and design experts to create compelling visual content for SMEs and household brand names from Samsung, to Nescafé and more.
My goal is to create original animations that help brands stand out and reach their audience more effectively. In a world with fleeting attention spans, I aim to capture attention within seconds, knowing that a well-crafted video can speak volumes.
If I’m not on my computer editing footage, you will probably find me:
- Doing traditional cross-stitch “tatreez”
- Baking something sweet
- Petting a stray cat
- Wandering a local art museum
- Chasing sunsets around the world with my hubby
