I turn ideas into things people actually stop and watch.
I'm Mohtashim - a creative technologist, filmmaker and student who moves between a camera, a design file, and a code editor depending on what a project needs.
Most of what I make starts with a simple question: what will actually make someone stop scrolling? That question has taken me from directing short films and cutting reels at 2am to designing brand campaigns and building the very site you're looking at right now, line by line.
This past summer I interned at the KID Museum in Washington, DC, where I led Project Lighthouse, a youth education initiative, and was awarded a Frank Karel Fellowship for the work - capped off with a final presentation on everything I'd built. It's the kind of project that reminded me why I like this work: it's not just about making something look good, it's about making something that actually reaches people.
