Bartłomiej Otłowski
Motion Designer
& Art Director

Hi, my name is Bartłomiej, and I’m a Motion Designer passionate about creating elegant, detailed, and efficient projects. In my work, I help companies create meaningful and time-saving products. With over thirteen years of experience, I created Product Animations, SaaS Videos, UX/UI Motion, Infographics, and Brand Animations. I am currently working as a Motion Design Art Director at Ifirma.

I am an idea-driven creator with strong technical skills. With excitement, I focus on systems and motion guidelines. I take the lead on projects from concept to execution. I love to tell compelling stories through motion.

Outside the pixel world, I’m obsessed with old maps, the Victorian era, and clockpunk aesthetics.
