Stuff About Me

Hi, I’m Malik.

I’m a New York-based creative who specializes in making silly social videos.

I concept, write, art direct, design, animate, illustrate and sound design nearly everything I work on.

I’m currently making TikTok and Snapchat stuff at Mashable and used to do stuff for NowThis, Next Animation Studio (better known as “that famous Taiwanese animation company”) and Reuters.

If you wanna talk about some stuff, you can reach me at:
