In this episode I chat with Margaux, creative director and co-founder of Moth, an amazing animation studio based in London. Margaux is 39 and she lives with her partner, their baby Oran and their cat Pantera.
As we talked, I could really relate to her story: She opened up about the mixed feelings around having kids, especially when life is already full between close friendships, travel, hobbies, and a deep passion for her work. Like many of us, she was focused on building something meaningful, and having kids wasn’t really on the radar.
After our conversation, Margaux got in touch to share a few extra thoughts, which I’ve included in the final edit.
Marie-Margaux is a Greek/Italian creative director and co-founder of Moth Studio, an animation studio based in London known for its perceptive and emotive storytelling with a strong emphasis on character and design as communication.
Born and raised in Athens, she developed her love for Animation at age 3 through her dad and came to England to study Animation at Kingston and the RCA, where Moth was formed.
She lives in Forest Hill, South London with her family and cat and when not in the studio she enjoys teaching and doing talks in universities and festivals worldwide. She is currently working on her first Illustrated Children’s book.
