About

Jorn Jilesen is a motion graphic designer based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. He's specialized in adding motion to brand identities. Incorporating motion is a vital component of a brand's visual expression. Especially in today's digital landscape, where attention spans are getting shorter and brands predominantly exist on screens.

In his work, he is fond of making algorithmic, graphic animations. Both using keyframes and snippets of code to connect different parameters and effects. He is also very interested in - and getting into - creative coding.

Jorn is one half of motion identity studio Jilesenkeizer.
