Introduction<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hmm where to begin\u2026 I\u2019m Alif, a motion graphics designer at OOm.\u00a0 I\u2019m usually an introvert who sits in the corner of the room. I like conversations, but I’m not good at starting one. I\u2019m a huge soccer fan therefore on most weekends, I\u2019m a part time manager of my Fantasy Premier League team, playing alongside some of my friends as we try to get to the top of the league table.<\/p>\n

Describe your role in OOm as a Motion Graphics Designer.<\/b><\/h2>\n

On a regular day, I create motion graphics\u00a0 artwork for Social Media and websites. This includes various storyboarding and animation processes. I get productive as the day goes by, therefore after lunch, I would normally be \u201cin the zone\u201d with my airpods on and everything else around me off. Animating takes time and a short 1 minute animation can take up to 2 days or more to complete. I enjoy the process of creating and producing videos and as a whole, improving myself while I still can. Afterall, \u201cfocus on the elements you like best and they\u2019ll be the things you\u2019re best at\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tell me about one memorable incident \/ experience you had while working in OOm.<\/b><\/h2>\n

It has to be the way the company celebrated my birthday earlier this year when some of us could still come to the office to work. A few of my colleagues that were around that day came over with cupcakes from Fluff Bakery. Having the privilege to join this company along with a birthday surprise was touching. Though there were only less than 5 of us celebrating due to the pandemic restrictions, it was very much appreciated. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who inspired\/inspires you to pursue the career you have today?<\/b><\/h2>\n

I do not think anyone inspires me to pursue this career of being in the creative line. I\u2019ve always had an interest in movie-making and video production. As a kid, I watched plenty of animation cartoons, which fuelled my desire for first-hand experience in animations.\u00a0 A fast-paced environment, working on multiple different accounts all the time makes work feel exciting. But I have to admit that my partner plays a huge role in molding me to be a responsible working adult and to be a son that my parents would be proud of having. So the answer is my partner, my wife.<\/p>\n

What is the craziest thing that has ever happened to you?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

I went jet skiing in Thailand and got into an accident. I had to pay close to $2.5k as the other party claimed that his arm was broken. I almost got expelled from school as the trip was an overseas school programme, but thankfully that did not happen.<\/p>\n
