Gabriel Collalto

Gabriel Collalto is a renowned motion graphics designer and art director with over ten years of experience collaborating with leading global brands, production companies, and advertising agencies to create visually compelling narratives. Unlike many in his field, his design journey did not begin with childhood drawings or artistic pursuits. Instead, his initial passion was for cinematography, drawn to the storytelling power of both mainstream Hollywood productions and deeply affecting foreign films. This love for film set the stage for his future career, but only in his teenage years did he discover an outdated version of After Effects. This encounter was transformative, revealing the potential to merge his love for film with graphic design, ultimately shifting his career focus. Fueled by this revelation, he pursued a formal education in design at an early age. His mentors were immediately struck by his relentless drive, often likening him to a marathon runner who doesn't stop even after crossing the finish line. This dedication led him to pursue dual degrees in Film Studies and Visual Communication, providing a solid foundation for his unique approach to motion graphics. His professional life began earnestly at a boutique advertising agency, where he quickly rose to lead the motion graphics division. His ability to infuse traditional brand narratives with fresh, innovative visual stories made him stand out in the industry. As businesses increasingly looked to digital platforms to engage audiences, he adeptly navigated this new landscape, guiding projects that captured the attention of larger agencies and led to opportunities to direct significant campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. In his view, motion graphics should be more than just visual enhancements; they are vital tools for storytelling in advertising. One of Gabriel Collalto's notable campaigns dramatically improved engagement and donations to a charity, earning acclaim for its emotional depth and narrative precision.
