About

Hi, I’m Yousef Tellayh, a 2D animator and illustrator who thrives under the night sky of Beirut. Since I was a kid I spent countless hours drawing, painting, and getting lost in the vibrant worlds of 90s cartoons, anime, and video games. Those early passions helped me realize I was meant to be an artist. I started with street art, then studied visual communication, and over the past decade I’ve built a solid career creating characters and visuals. I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities to grow, learn, and have fun by illustrating and bringing new characters to life through animation.

Beyond the drawing board, I work on freelance and agency projects for brands and organizations, collaborating with teams to craft motion and illustration assets. I leverage a mix of Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, and AI tools to move ideas from concept to screen. If you’d like to see more, press to watch my Animation Reel.
