Hi, I’m Tina. I love motion, sans serif fonts, white space, hiking, and talking about design. I’m usually the person tilting my head behind my laptop, thinking about the tiniest detail and the whole picture at the same time.
I like making static things feel more human and creating experiences that let people choose what they want to engage with. I believe less is more, and that thoughtful design can make everyday life a little better.
I grew up between Tehran and California, and once hiked Half Dome all the way through the cables to the top.
You can reach me at tina.korani@gmail.com with questions, collaborations, design work, or something beautifully designed you think I should see.
Practice
Design
I’ve been using Adobe tools since 2009 and teaching them since 2015, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I’m also an expert in quick editing and content tools like Adobe Express, Adobe Premiere Rush, and Canva. Sometimes the best tool is simply the one that lets you make a good idea happen quickly.
Motion Graphics
I love motion graphics, especially frame-by-frame work and rotoscoping. I work with After Effects and other motion tools, and I enjoy the patience and tiny decisions involved in making something move and feel alive.
Interactive + Immersive Design
I love designing things people can actually interact with. I work with Figma, Unity, Adobe Aero, and other interactive and immersive tools, from app prototypes to AR experiences. I especially love proximity-based interactions, when something responds simply because you move closer to it. I also still have a soft spot for Adobe XD and the way it let me experiment with voice, audio, maps, and interactive prototypes.
