Cian McKenna Joins LOS YORK as Creative Director, Motion

LOS YORK has made a significant addition to its team by signing award-winning designer and artist Cian McKenna. Based in Ireland, Cian began his career specializing in design and typography before expanding into motion design and directing. Known for his precise, elegant compositions, Cian’s work has been showcased in top design publications like Motionographer and Stash Magazine and featured in campaigns for brands such as Google, Irish Distillers, and Hublot. His Emmy-nominated title sequence for HBO's White Lotus stands out as a high point in his career.

After freelancing for a decade, Cian recently collaborated with LOS YORK on a Logitech G campaign, which played a pivotal role in his decision to join the studio full-time. Reflecting on his journey, Cian shared, "I’d been freelancing for years, really enjoying building my own business. When LOS YORK offered me a role, at first I thought, ‘I’m too used to being independent.’ But as I continued working with them, I felt a great fit with the team’s energy and creative approach."

Cian now joins LOS YORK’s creative leadership team alongside Scott, global creative director Kevin Cabuli, VFX and Motion director Casey Hupke, and CEO Seth Epstein. Bringing his expertise in photo-real 3D and refined motion design, as well as his experience in conducting workshops and industry panels, Cian adds new depth to the studio's collaborative and multidisciplinary approach. As Scott puts it, “These internal creative lead partnerships bring depth to everything we do. It’s rare to have this level of talent working together every day—that’s LOS YORK’s superpower.”
