Morteza is a highly skilled and talented motion designer. I have employed him over the last few years on a freelance basis and happily placed him on top priority jobs working on all levels from client liaison, concepts and storyboarding to creating the finished pieces. He is a rare breed in that he can handle all types of motion design and execute them with flair and his own stylish design sense, plus he does all this in good time with positive attitude throughout the process. Highly recommended!!

Do you strive to create insane, world-class work or do just settle for mediocre when times get tough? Do you work with integrity and respect for your team or are you just focused on what’s next for you? Are you about making a quick buck or do you strive to create work that’s going to stand out?
I ask this because I’ve worked with all of the above, and it’s rare to find someone as passionate and talented as Morteza Shahbake. Morteza’s curiosity is infectious, his craft is world-class, and he teaches and inspires those he works with. He operates with calm and considered intentions that bring out the best qualities in his colleagues.
Morteza is guided by a sense of possibility and wonder which is perfectly matched by his commitment to pursuing his craft. As a self-directed learner he has all the latest tools to deliver on the team’s vision (one look at his reel and you’ll see what I mean).
Beyond being a gifted motion graphics designer, he’s a kind person that has all the right ingredients to make the magic your business needs.

Morteza’s proficiency, creativity, design and animation skills have consistently made him a highly sought-after collaborator. His remarkable work with Interbrand forming brand animations for McDonald’s, his incredible work on Cupra, and the Canne Lion award winning VW RooBadge, has received glowing feedback, showcasing his exceptional ability to bring ideas to life.
Morteza has shown resilience and a strong commitment to his work. The work Morteza did established him as a trusted professional within our agency, but also contributed greatly to our reputation and client satisfaction. His ability to deliver high-quality creative solutions has made a noticeable difference in our projects, elevating every asset he touched.
His positive attitude fostered a collaborative work environment, where challenges were tackled collectively, and ideas given the opportunity to be freely exchanged.
Overall, Morteza consistently exceeded expectations. His aptitude for creative projects, particularly in branding, is evident and will serve him well in future endeavors.
I am confident that Morteza will continue to excel and contribute positively to any team he is a part of.

Morteza is a star! I worked closely with him on the FOX8 brand and he never ceased to amaze me, not only with his incredible design skills and beautiful style but also his ability to appreciate and add value to marketing strategy and concept development. Such a valuable asset as a Designer.
Morteza can take pride in being responsible for FOX8’s new brand design and additionally creating the distinctive ‘forward slash’ brand asset. The re-brand has been met with incredible praise from both customers and peers alike. He is an asset to any team and I hope to work with him again.

Morteza, is a true “creative” and knows his software and plugins. His timing and attention to detail is second to none. I didn’t really want to recommend him as he may not be available when we need him.
