About Mo Husseini

I am deeply passionate about creating experiences that go beyond the surface, focusing on narratives that not only capture attention but also resonate on a personal level. My approach to design is empathetic and holistic, always considering the human aspect behind every project. I believe in the power of storytelling to forge genuine connections and craft memorable experiences that leave a lasting impact.Design for me is about pushing the boundaries of what's possible, embracing the challenge of turning the impossible into reality. I value the time of our audience, striving to respect and enhance it through engaging and meaningful interactions. My work is not just about fulfilling a brief but about exceeding expectations and delivering value that elevates every engagement.With a strong emphasis on strategic thinking and a methodical approach to the creative process, I aim to ensure that each project is impactful and purposeful. I design with all senses in mind, creating immersive environments that are accessible and enjoyable for everyone. My goal is always to create work that not only stands out but also stands for something—bringing people together and making a difference in their lives.

    Senior Vice President — Design
    Freeman Company May 2018 - Jan 2022
    Dallas, Texas, Us
    In 2018, I was asked to lead the Design function at Freeman, a talented team of designers, engineers, and creatives supporting Freeman's business. The Design team is dedicated to helping our clients exceed their most aggressive and aspirational brand experience goals by delivering innovative, engaging, and powerful ideas that redefine creative excellence, connect people, and move them to action.While the work and the people of Design were (and are still) amazing, many of our legacy systems, platforms, tools, and processes were no longer fit for purpose. My mission was to professionalize and upgrade our systems and processes, bringing this team into the modern-day without disrupting its ability to continue to deliver on day-to-day business while also elevating our work's quality, efficiency, and effectiveness.My leaders and I grew and nurtured a cohesive, diverse, and energized team of (pre-COVID) 400 people, establishing a vibrant and exciting creative culture.We rolled out a robust implementation of the Adobe Workfront project management platform, streamlined and optimized our operations, and designed and implemented a company-wide cost-recovery rate card. We went through a rigorous job architecture process, brought together three disparate design practices, managed and ran the business against an established set of meaningful KPIs and metrics, built a Design Enablement function and a Design Resourcing Department, and drove a proactive data-driven demand-prediction framework. Over the course of 4 years, we transformed the ho-hum performance of a transactional 'service' function to a modern utilization-positive award-winning creative group.

  • Industrial Light & Magic
    Director/Visual Effects Supervisor
    Industrial Light & Magic Apr 1994 - Jun 2000
    San Francisco, Ca, Us
    Film Director / Visual Effects Supervisor1998 — 2000Editor / Post-Production Supervisor1995 — 1998Assistant Editor 1994 — 1995Six weeks before my expected graduation from U.C. Berkeley, I was offered a dream job at Industrial Light and Magic, and much to my mother's chagrin, I dropped out of school and started as an assistant film & video editor. 1994 was a genuinely disruptive year in visual effects marked by a growing influence (and the ultimate primacy) of digital and computer-generated imagery. As someone with a background in both physical (analog) film editorial and digital (non-linear) editorial, I quickly moved up the ranks (Editor, Post-Production Supervisor, Associate Visual Effects Supervisor) to become a Visual Effects Supervisor and Film Director in 1998.This role truly deepened and expanded my knowledge of storytelling, creative direction, film production, 2D & 3D computer graphics, motion-graphic design and execution, animation supervision, and post-production. I was able to hone my skills to take complex granular narratives and break them down into simple, compelling, resonant, and impactful ideas that drive people to action. I also learned how to work in, with, and lead high-performing, literally world-class, cross-functional, multi-disciplinary teams — helping to elevate and focus the best ideas and approaches around the mission of delivering on a holistic and overarching creative vision. I was responsible for recruiting and coordinating multi-disciplinary creative teams, building and managing budgets, bidding, engaging, and supervising vendors, and aligning the work to deliver truly state-of-the-art content. I designed, developed, and led creative and logistical execution for many high-budget and national filmed commercials, developing, leading, and delivering complex visual effects solutions and CGI productions for a wide range of clients, including Chevy, First Union Bank, Honda, Nissan, Kellogg's, and Virgin Atlantic.
