A NOTE FROM THE MAKER

Built along
the way.

Transversal is a home for tools that come out of my motion-design workflow. Small experiments, useful shortcuts, and things I wanted to exist.

I’m Pedro Mafra. I’m sharing these tools so they can find a place in your process, too. Take a look around, try something out, and let me know what you make.
