About
I’m Maksym Zakharyak — a Ukrainian designer focused on motion graphics, 3D visuals, and digital content.
My design journey began in 2012 at an advertising agency in Lviv, Ukraine. Those early years shaped my
understanding of visual storytelling, teamwork, and the power of design in communication.
Working in a large agency, I took part in producing national TV campaigns and visual content that reached
millions across Ukraine and beyond. Later, collaborating with smaller studios gave me more freedom to
experiment and refine my approach to design. Over time, I joined forces with a group of like-minded
professionals — a collaboration that naturally grew into a creative studio Dimensions, where I took on the role of partner and art
director.
Together, we built a versatile team delivering high-end creative projects for leading tech companies and
international startups. Our work spanned a wide range of mediums — from brand videos and explainer
animations to interactive digital experiences. Over the years, our dedication and consistency led us to
become an integrated creative team within a top-tier global tech company, where I restructured our
workflow to meet new creative and technical challenges, developing extensive sets of digital assets and
exploring innovative approaches to motion design at scale.
With that accumulated experience, sharing knowledge felt like a natural next step. I began teaching motion
design and animation at Logos IT Academy, developing courses and mentoring students who later
entered the industry. Teaching helped me refine my process and approach design from new perspectives.
Although I no longer teach actively, education remains an essential part of how I approach creativity and
collaboration.
In recent years, I expanded my professional focus through projects across Central Europe, collaborating
with creative studios and independent designers in Prague. Today, I’m part of Growthcurve, a London-based
marketing agency and global team of designers, strategists, and data scientists reshaping how companies
grow. As a Senior Motion Designer, I work on diverse projects that merge creativity, strategy, and
technology, exploring new formats and mediums that define today’s visual language.
My background in engineering brings an analytical layer to my creative process, helping me combine
logic with intuition when solving design challenges. Fourteen years in, I continue to evolve, exploring
new forms of visual expression while leveraging the latest technologies. My goal is to create work that
feels honest, resonant, and connected to the spirit of its time.
