Hello! I am Moytsa Sfeir and I’m working at the intersection of graphic design and art direction. I’m a Senior Designer at Design Bridge & Partners in London and I've previously lived and worked across Europe and Middle East.
Born in the 80's in one of the last generations of Yugoslavia, I grew up in a charming little town in the Slovenian mountains. As a kid sitting in my parents' warehouse, watching them turn fabric into fashion, I've had lots of dreams of what I would become. Four years of nursing school trying to become a doctor, a shot at architecture, and a year in fashion only made me realise that my real passion lies down the hall, in the Graphic Design department.
Paper in hand, I worked in Editorial design for ‘Bonnier’ (the big Scandinavian publisher) where I was the Art Director for their magazines. I used my Press ID at every occasion I could to enter all the biggest advertising festivals and obsessively write about the field. Eight years later, I boarded a plane to Beirut – the (ex-) Paris of the Middle East. I got a job at ‘M&C Saatchi’, followed by ‘Interesting Times’, and that’s when the times got interesting indeed.
But Berlin was calling! And I took the call. I lived in Germany for three years, where I’ve developed digital products for start-ups in Berlin and I’ve worked in advertising at Serviceplan in Hamburg and later at McCann in London. Today I am a Senior Designer at Design Bridge & Partners in London, and I love every aspect of the job, from concept to design, carry a pencil and sketchbook everywhere, and can still handle a camera. I am holding a few awards, and have experience in advertising, branding, editorial and digital design.
