Jarek Pulit
I'm a visual strategist, experience designer, and motion engineer (because, why not?). I'd refer to myself as a design generalist with over 15+ years of experience but I rarely refer to myself. Having been involved in teams that have worked on enterprise global benefits products, visual identity systems, and broadcast commercial animations, I’ve consistently made an effort to be a varied contributor and design leader to help drive brand awareness and provide product value. I make an effort to focus on narratives, stories that help connect experiences among people with compelling and emotional content that resonate with viewers. Occasionally, I try and make it funny.
I enjoy making animated visual essays focusing on people's personal experiences. I recently had a short film (Where's Mommy) chosen to be screened at the Buffalo International Film Festival. It's been a semi-finalist in several other festivals and won the best micro-short at the International Cosmopolitan Film Festival of Tokyo.
I'm a bedroom guitar player who only learns the best parts of songs. I'll watch any Marvel movie if it's on tv, no matter how many times I've seen it but I do love a really well-made dark comedy (Parasite, American Werewolf in London, Shaun of the Dead ...). I don't binge-watch but can't get enough of streaming shows (The Bear, Silicon Valley, Fleabag, Halt and Catch Fire, Mad Men ...) I used to inline skate but failed at snowboarding. I used to run but now I bike, and it's faster. I'm a fairly optimistic person who enjoys spending time with his family.
