Advice & inspiration

25 international multimedia professionals to watch

This post is also available in Spanish

When it comes to finding inspirational multimedia abroad, many times the language barrier becomes extremely frustrating. That is why I have a tendency to blog mostly about English multimedia sites that I come across.

However, that doesn’t mean that I’m not continually checking out work and people from all over the world. Of course there are the international regulars I mention – Adam Westbrook, Poul Madsen, Benjamin Chesterton, etc – but there are also oodles of others’ work who I come across one way or another and subsequently make a mental note to keep an eye on them. Some are top-notch web designers, others are documentary multimedia storytellers, and some are super talented when it comes to data visualization and graphic design.

I decided to publish a handful of people outside of the U.S. whose work I admire. Hope you also enjoy browsing through their multimedia goodness! I am always interested in meeting new people, so if you are passionate about multimedia and live abroad, please get in touch!
