Los Angeles based, Mauro Gatti is an italian all-around creative guy in love with creating all sorts of other fun stuff. He lives a double life, during the day he’s in charge of content creation at the amazing JibJab Studio; at night he splashes around in illustration, animation, game design, GIFs and children’s books illustration. His work is full of humour and his style is iconic and simple, inspired by the illustration of the 60s and 70s. He is always in company of his inseparable bullmastiff Cyrus and his favorite quote is “A day without laughter is a day wasted” - Charlie Chaplin

As a result, the studio carries a flexible working conditions, offers an in-depth understanding of client needs within global to local landscapes that are diverse and meaningful.
