Ethan Barnowsky makes ideas feel something.

A concept on a slide. A message in a document.
He turns it into something people can see, follow, and believe.

Ethan is an illustrator and motion designer who brings stories to life through animation, design, and visual storytelling. His work spans film, television, branding, and digital media, with clients including HBO, McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Snapchat, and Procter & Gamble. 

At Strategy Muse, Ethan helps turn communication into something people connect with. His work takes ideas that might otherwise be read and forgotten—and gives them shape, movement, and emotion, so they stick.

Because when people feel something, they’re far more likely to believe it.

When he’s not at his desk, Ethan can often be found riding local bike trails with his wife and kids—a reflection of his curiosity and creative instinct to explore, observe, and find inspiration in the world around him.
