Max Desai is a motion graphic designer with over a decade of experience in transforming ideas into bold, dynamic visuals. His work spans everything from sculptural 3D animation to rich, layered compositions - always with a focus on movement, mood, and energy.

Outside the studio, Max is a DJ, and that love for sound naturally weaves into his design practice. He's especially drawn to the intersection between art, design, and sound, crafting audiovisual experiences that don’t just catch the eye, but resonate on a deeper, sensory level.

Whether he's animating a brand story or mixing a late-night set, Max brings the same energy: considered, dynamic, and always in motion.
