Creative Technologist & Multidisciplinary Digital Artist

Saif Ali Shaikh

A motion designer with a Master's in Animation and ten years spent where the deadline is real: screen graphics for feature films, match-day packages for international cricket, performance creative for fashion brands, and generative AI folded into a working studio pipeline. Comfortable leading a team, and still happier with the file open.
