About me

I'm Ethan Rujak, a graphic and motion designer based in New York. I specialize in branding and motion design that builds identity through intentional visual systems, from brand development to digital content that moves.


I'm drawn to the way design shapes how people perceive and connect with ideas. I believe good design isn't just about aesthetics; it's about creating clarity, building recognition, and communicating with purpose. Every typeface choice, color decision, and animation timing should serve the larger story.


I approach projects by first understanding the core message, then building visual systems that amplify it with consistency and detail.


Whether I'm developing a brand from scratch or creating motion work for social platforms, I focus on work that feels cohesive, intentional, and refined at every touchpoint.
