Born on American soil and raised in the heart of Africa, Jaafer Elsadig is a multifaceted designer, self-proclaimed storyteller, and budding artist. By day, he designs and animates brand stories—but his personal work explores themes of nostalgia, fatherhood, and joy, always with a dash of whimsy.
Through bold colors, dynamic shapes, expressive typography, and playful animation, Jaafer crafts visual narratives that aim to both inspire and scratch that familiar itch for something refreshingly new.
Forever a student of his craft, Jaafer seeks to bridge the gap between futuristic design and art history—blurring the lines between what we call design and what we revere as art.
From 9 to 5, he works as a motion graphics artist—pushing keyframes, cutting clips, and bringing brands to life through vibrant animations for exhibitions across the UAE.

I offer a wide range of design services including Motion design, logo design, branding, print design, web design, and more. I’m also open to custom projects and love a good creative challenge!
From experience and for clarity I have found that project based payment is more suitable than an hourly rating. I strive to provide high-quality design services that fit within a variety of budgets. Let’s discuss your project and budget so we can find a solution that works for both of us.
The timeline for a project can vary greatly depending on its complexity and scope. However, I always strive to meet deadlines and will provide a timeline estimate at the start of the project.
I’ve worked with clients across a variety of industries and can adapt my design style to meet the needs of your specific industry. I’m always eager to learn about new industries and their unique design requirements.
To get started, I’ll need a clear understanding of your project requirements, goals, target audience, and any specific design preferences or inspirations you have. The more information you can provide, the better I can tailor the design to your needs.
