@allenmezquida

Motion design director at Deutsch who designed and animated Questlove’s podcast launch campaign for Pandora.

At Deutsch, I managed creative teams of up to 10 while staying hands-on from concept boards through final delivery. I designed and animated motion content for broadcast and social platforms, and helped develop pitches for Pandora, Hulu, Target, and Pizza Hut.

As a freelance Animation/Motion Design Director, I manage teams creating work across commercials, title sequences, and documentaries. I designed and animated title sequences for #UNTRUTH and #UNFIT on Apple TV, and animated and directed three shorts for The Bitter Buddha.
