A course by Smog
Moisés is a graphic designer by trade, but years of experience in the field led him to discover the magic of storytelling and its applications as a design tool. That's what inspired him to create Smog in 2006 alongside Pablo González. This prolific audiovisual design studio, based in Santiago de Chile, is dedicated to telling captivating stories through a combination of design and animation techniques.
Smog's work can be found in film, television, events, and digital media. They've worked for clients such as IKEA, Pizza Hut, Huawei, and The World Economic Forum, but many of the pieces they create are commissioned by nongovernmental organizations like Todo Mejora, Oceana, Amparo y Justicia, and Greenpeace.
