MEET THE FOUNDER AND INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Tiago Castro.

I started
from scratch, too.

At 17, I worked as a construction helper alongside my father. Today, I have over 14 years of experience as a motion designer, creating for advertising, TV, games, series and films. My desire to share what I learned led me to create Motion Master School.

I live with ADHD and know the difference a clear explanation, broken into steps, can make. That experience also shapes the way I teach.

Today, I teach the way I wish I had learned. I explain each step and the reasons behind each choice, with examples on screen, so you can follow the thinking and understand what you are doing.
