Hello Tara!

We are Silvia Celiberti and Stratos Tzanavaris, two freelancers working together under the name of Bomburo, a multidisciplinary design studio based in Amsterdam. Nice to meet you!
We give priority to projects that initiate positive transformation at a societal, cultural, and environmental level. We understand we are accountable for the work we create, so we question stereotypes, challenge social norms and strive for fair representation.
A few tidbits of our work on motion graphics, animation and illustration. For the whole picture please visit our website.
Very often in our design work we use movement to better communicate ideas or to add flavour to otherwise static visual elements such as icons.
In the above examples, we designed and animated a series of icons for a client's website, we animated a client's logo and we created a playful message about the importance of good editorial design.
We animated the characters and effects for 7 Yemeni serious mobile games. Here you can see a sample of the character's animations that went into the game.
Even though game animation has different requirements than animation for video, the general principles of movement and the techniques used are the same.

Through the editorial illustration work we do for major Dutch newspaper De Volskrant, as well as for independent projects, we aim to contribute to creating a more progressive, open-minded, and forward thinking culture. Our intention is to support and add nuance to important stories using contemporary sensitivities and discourse, and get to a deeper reading of our society and the narratives we uphold through stereotype-questioning visuals.
Above is a mix of our editorial and personal work, encompassing different styles. The subjects include authorship on contemporary issues as well as portraits of iconic women politicians, writers, activists and philosophers such as Ilhan Omar, Carola Rackete, Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, Simone de Beauvoir, and Dutch activist Perle Miangue.

This is an animated illustration we created to reflect on the tragedy of colonization in Brasil, inspired by the story of the Curumim sculpture in the Lagoa of Rio de Janeiro.
Above is a short animation we did to thank our friend Seb for inviting us on Dribbble. The assets where drawn by hand, the animation was done in After effects.
And this is a frame by frame loop we created inspired by the handmade skin care products of Fisika, who actually hand pick some of their ingredients.
Working with Bomburo was an absolute pleasure.
They were incredibly professional and efficient and were able to take our ideas and translate them into concrete design outputs.
Moreover, they were very flexible in incorporating our feedback on an earlier version of the design and were able to turn around a product incredibly quickly. Their expertise in design greatly contributed to the excellent work they did.
We would highly recommend working with them.
Bomburo was able to seamlessly take data and turn it into digestible and informative infographics. This is a testament to their ability to turn complex ideas and concepts into creative digital assets.
They were completely professional, reliable, and flexible. I would definitely like to work with them again in future.
