I’m Thieb — a Multidisciplinary Designer with a focus on Art Direction, Motion Design and 3D.

I love bringing ideas to life through crafted visuals and meaningful animations, playing with colors, composition, shapes, and details.

With ten years of experience collaborating with leading brands like Google, Spotify, Louis Vuitton, Netflix and Nike, I have contributed to craft visual experiences that set new industry standards.

Currently Senior Art Director & Motion Designer at Apple via Magnit, I design and animate innovative concepts for groundbreaking product launches and campaigns, ensuring that each project embodies the brand’s iconic aesthetic while pushing creative boundaries.

As part of my journey, I also worked with independent studios, leading small creative teams and engaging in every stage of the creative process across diverse projects.

Originally from France and graduated from Gobelins, my background has deeply influenced my approach to visual storytelling. Based in Los Angeles for a decade, I'm always open to new collabs. Feel free to reach out!

FIFA —
2026 World Cup Poster

TYPE POSTER DESIGN
COMPANY FIFA, LASEC
ROLE CREATIVE DIRECTION, DESIGN
YEAR 2025

Out of more than 900 submissions, my design was selected as the official FIFA World Cup 2026 poster for Los Angeles.

Inspired by the colors of LA and my love for football, the concept is built around a simple idea: a player about to kick a ball, which also represents the sun setting over the city. Using a blend of techniques, my goal was to create a cinematic composition that captures LA’s spirit and the excitement of the World Cup. For someone who's got into design creating football banners, being part of World Cup history also felt like a full-circle moment and a dream come true.

Sometimes you need to get lost to find yourself — Lost Giants is a poetic journey about the need to get lost to find yourself, with a series of unique 3D animated pieces. This project has a special meaning for me, as constantly stepping out of my comfort zone helped me find myself as a creative but also as a person. There was no better way for me to use my art, my craft to share this story!
