Hey, I'm Awais —
motion designer,
founder & tech nerd.

I run A+Motion, a studio that makes explainer videos for SaaS & tech products. Beyond work, I'm obsessed with AI, building on the internet, and figuring out life as I go — from Lahore, Pakistan.

My Story

Life in chapters.

I didn't follow a straight path. Here's the honest version.

The Beginning

Growing up curious in Lahore

Lahore shaped me. Growing up here meant figuring things out with limited resources — which is probably why I became obsessed with getting creative work done efficiently. I was always drawn to visuals, screens, and technology before I knew what to do with any of it.

The Craft

Discovering motion design — then committing to it

I stumbled into motion design and couldn't look away. Eventually I trained at the School of Motion, one of the world's best programs for the craft. That's when things clicked — I finally had a skill I genuinely loved and could build something real with.

The Studio

Founding A+Motion

I started A+Motion with a simple thesis: SaaS and tech companies need videos that actually explain what they do — clearly, quickly, beautifully. Most explainer videos are forgettable. I wanted to fix that. The studio grew from that obsession.

Now

Building at the intersection of AI & motion

Right now I'm fascinated by how AI is changing creative work — and I'm leaning into it rather than away from it. I'm also starting to share what I've learned publicly, because I wish more people from my corner of the world did that. This site is part of that.


Beyond Work

What I actually care about.

🤖
Artificial Intelligence
AI isn't just a trend for me — it's a genuine obsession. I follow the models, the research, the tools, and the implications. I use AI daily in my work and think deeply about where it's all headed.
🎬
Motion & Visual Storytelling
I think in motion. How an idea moves, transitions, and reveals itself is as important as the idea itself. It's both my craft and how I see the world.
🌐
The Internet & Building Online
The internet is the great equalizer. Someone from Lahore can build a global studio. I'm obsessed with the mechanics of how people build audiences, products, and businesses online.
📚
Books & Big Ideas
I read to think differently. Business, philosophy, science, biographies — anything that rewires how I see problems. If you have a recommendation, I'm always listening.
🏙️
Lahore, Pakistan
Lahore is chaotic, loud, warm, and deeply creative. It's home and it shaped everything about how I approach work and life. I take a quiet pride in building something meaningful from here — and I hope more people from Pakistan tell their stories publicly. The talent here is absurd. The visibility isn't there yet.

My Work

How I spend my days.

My studio makes videos. My brain never stops tinkering.

Founder · Studio
A+Motion
We make animated explainer videos for SaaS & tech companies. The kind that make complex products feel simple — and make people actually want to sign up. Clients range from early-stage startups to scaling software businesses.

How I Think

Things I believe.

Not rules. Just honest convictions that guide how I work and live.

01 Clarity beats cleverness. A video that explains one thing perfectly is worth ten that try to say everything at once. Same goes for most things in life.
02 Geography is not destiny. The internet changed the rules. Where you're born doesn't have to determine what you can build or who you can reach.
03 AI amplifies, not replaces. The best creative people will use AI to do more — not fear it. The skills that matter are taste, judgment, and knowing what good looks like.
04 Share what you learn. Most people know more than they think they do. Hoarding knowledge is a trap. Sharing is how you compound value — for others and yourself.
05 Build things you'd want to use. The bar for everything I make — videos, tools, this site — is whether I'd genuinely find it useful or beautiful. If not, it's not done.

Writing

Thinking out loud.

I write about motion design, AI, building a creative business, and life from Lahore. Honest takes — no fluff.
