stmbtali is Shoaib Ali. This is my personal and professional collection of visuals and client work acquired through employment, freelance, and an infectious habit of breaking the rules.
Born and raised in New Jersey/NYC, I went from hustling as an artist to becoming a successful food truck owner at 15 named Summer Snowball. While I can make a mean strawberry banana snow cone 100% without fail, what was most memorable from this venture was being able to afford my first laptop and camera. From then on, I began to make short films and conceptual content where I would later on find my love for Art Direction & Animation.
I began to find my own identity as a creative and I’ve been grateful to have created some amazing relationships with clients, develop some badass work and win some stellar awards:
