Show Notes
Mohamed Chajid is a Rotterdam-based creative director, designer and concept engineer whose practice spans 3D animation, fashion, branding, and cultural collaborations. At just 27, he has worked with Nike, New Balance, Disney, Drake, Donda and Virgil Abloh, while staying rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and a mission “dedicated towards creating.
What if saying yes — again and again — is the fastest way to grow, learn, and create work that shapes culture and find your why along the way?
In this episode, Mohamed shares his path from a philosophy-obsessed teenager sketching in notebooks, to discovering design through Apple, to building an international client list by posting 3D experiments online. He talks about the role of Virgil Abloh as a mentor-from-afar, learning business the hard way by charging money for global campaigns, and finding balance between speed, consistency, and frequency.
We explore how he deals with imposter syndrome, the hidden value of underdog projects, and why his biggest ambition isn’t more logos or campaigns — but education, collaboration, and using creativity to shape systems that impact daily life.
