Today we’d like to introduce you to Jantana.
Hi Jantana, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I began my career in Montreal at Moment Factory, creating immersive experiences that blended light, motion, and storytelling. It taught me how design could move beyond screens and become emotional and spatial.
In 2022 I moved to Los Angeles, drawn by its mix of cinema, technology, and creative energy. It was both exciting and disorienting to start over, but LA quickly felt like home. Since then I’ve worked with studios like Active Theory, Mathematic, and now Legion Creative, where I focus on motion design for film and television.
Looking back, it feels like one continuous path from Montreal’s immersive worlds to LA’s cinematic landscapes, always exploring how motion can make people feel something.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Moving from Montreal to Los Angeles meant starting from zero. I had to rebuild my network, adapt to a new culture, and find my footing in an industry that moves fast and values excellence. At first, it was hard to balance creativity with the pressure of proving myself in a new environment.
What helped me most was focusing on craft. No matter how uncertain things felt, I kept coming back to the work: refining, learning, experimenting. That dedication helped me stay grounded and continue growing as an artist. Over time, that consistency not only opened new doors but also reaffirmed my belief that true recognition comes from mastery and authenticity, not trends.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a motion designer and art director working at the intersection of cinema, design, and technology. My work spans film marketing, immersive experiences, and visual storytelling, from large-scale installations at Moment Factory to cinematic campaigns at Legion Creative.
I love building visual worlds that feel emotional and textured, where design supports the story rather than just decorates it. What excites me most is that moment when light, movement, and sound come together to create a feeling, something that lingers.
I’m proud to have collaborated with studios like Moment Factory, Active Theory, Mathematic, and Legion, on projects for clients ranging from Meow Wolf to Universal Pictures. Each collaboration taught me something new about how motion can deepen a narrative.
What sets me apart is my cinematic approach to motion. I tend to think like a director, not just a designer. My process is rooted in storytelling, composition, and emotion. I care deeply about craft, about creating work that feels timeless.
What were you like growing up?
I grew up between two cultures, Thai and French, which gave me a natural sense of curiosity and openness. Being in between worlds made me interested in how people see and express things differently, and that curiosity has always shaped the way I approach design.
As a kid, I was both creative and technical. I loved drawing, making things, and spending hours on the computer experimenting with new programs or testing design software just to see what they could do. I think that mix of imagination and curiosity is what led me toward motion design, it felt like the perfect space where art and technology could meet.
