Motion Graphics & Simulations
About
Marie Cruwys‑Wong, also known as Marie Walker-Smith pre-2025, is a London‑based interdisciplinary designer whose work sits at the intersection of visual communication, futures thinking and world‑building. With a background spanning motion graphics, 3D simulation, interactive systems and narrative design, she creates compelling visual frameworks that help people understand complexity and imagine alternative futures.
Born in Hong Kong and trained at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, Marie’s research roots lie in architectures for the non‑human and the speculative systems that shape our world. Over more than a decade, she has built a practice that blends strategic insight with craft, using design as a tool for clarity, imagination and change.
Her portfolio spans immersive workshops, reports, animations, exhibitions, and multi‑format projects exploring climate, logistics, resource futures and regenerative design. Whether developing visual languages, building simulations, crafting data‑driven narratives or translating research into accessible storytelling, she brings a holistic, investigative approach to every brief.
Marie currently works as a Senior Designer and has previously contributed to Foresight work, 3D visualization and film studios as well as educational initiatives with organisations such as STORE Projects. She thrives in interdisciplinary environments where collaboration, speculative thinking and well-crafted communication can meaningfully shift conversations and inspire people to act.
Please note: none of the work shown on my website was created using generative AI. I am comfortable using these services as tools for references, to give clients and end users an idea of the final result or to sense-check ideas, but do not believe the resultant images are at a stage where they are ready for final visual outputs, both in terms of quality and iterative capability, but also morally as producing these consume huge amounts of water, energy and use artist’s work as references without compensation, and also use a skewed data set that often alienates the experiences and perspectives of minorities. My current stance is that generative AI tools are promising and it is important to be able to use them, but I feel it would be disingenuous of me to present my work as mine if it isn’t.
