Today I’m speaking with Antonino Iacona — motion designer & director. Antonino has worked at Apple, Google Creative Lab and is now running Studio Santo.

We spoke about:

  • How Apple shaped his craft through slow, iterative, detail-obsessed design.
  • The experimental mindset he developed at Google Creative Lab — and why ideas, not tools, come first.
  • What it means to design "motion with intent", and why expressive and functional motion must work in tandem.
  • The way he and his co-founder Ben work — blending motion and design from the start.
  • And a discussion around the value or product that Studio Santo actually delivers to its clients. Not finished mp4s — but more like motion systems & identities — flexible, collaborative toolkits.
