ABOUT
WHO?

I’m Nuno Leites, a Portuguese person who’s also a Motion Designer working remotely from home to wherever needed. With about 10 years of experience in the motion industry, I’ve been creating with brands, agencies, and studios across the globe.
I started my journey in 2012 during my post-graduation in motion design. Right after, I started working at Bungalow in Barcelona for a year and a half.
Then, I came back to Portugal and co-founded and ran my own design studio, Snack Studio, from 2014 to 2017. We worked for small and big clients developing projects that incorporated communication design, illustration and motion.
In 2018, I started freelancing and, since then, been focused on creating compelling and well-crafted motion for graphic design, branding, and typography-driven projects.
Aside from my design career, I’m also artistic director of the performing arts festival FIS – International Solo Festival, and part of the culture and performing arts collective, Grua Crua.
