CARLOS COTTE

Founder

I’m a multidisciplinary Creative Director, Motion Designer, and Visual Storyteller with 20+ years of experience crafting cinematic title sequences, animated branding, and visual storytelling across TV, digital, social, and experiential platforms. Based in Miami and collaborating remotely, I work with production companies, studios, and agencies worldwide through 8Beat, my design studio, to bring bold ideas to life through motion design and creative direction.

Half of my career has been spent inside global networks and studios like Discovery, HBO, NBCUniversal, and Viacom. The other half? As a trusted creative partner and freelance motion designer for production companies and clients including Apple Music and Skechers. I’ve led everything from animated docuseries and brand launches to title sequences, political campaigns, and AR installations.

Whether directing a team or getting hands-on with motion design, branding systems, or cinematic storytelling, I bring a deep respect for the craft, the audience, and the idea. I believe great creative starts with listening, thrives on research, and succeeds through collaboration.

I’m open to freelance gigs and full-time creative roles — especially with production companies, digital studios, and content teams that are working at the intersection of design, technology, and storytelling.

Let’s build something that resonates.
