Hey my name is Desmond Du, and I’m Singaporean NYC-based Motion Designer and Creative Technologist at Diagonal Media. I work at the intersection of design, animation, code, operations, building systems that help creative teams move smarter, navigate unambiguity, and scale meaningful over time. This often involves organizing shared knowledge, building reusable tools and templates, automating repeatable tasks, developing custom workflows, and conducting creative analysis to uncover value and direction.

I previously worked at WarnerMedia Studios in Atlanta. I also run NoSleepCreative, a YouTube channel dedicated to motion designers, and teach the Domestika course Advanced After Effects: Coding for Motion Design, with over 8,000 students enrolled. Occasionally, I teach in person, such as a workshop at UT Dallas and a UX design course at Miami Ad School in New York.
