The people behind Co Curate

A lean company by design: coordinators across systems, talent, partnerships, social and finance, a freelance art team, and a three-seat executive bench. Most of those seats are open, and this page is where they land as they are filled.

Talia Balogun, founder of Co Curate

Talia Balogun

Founder & chief executive

Multidisciplinary producer and designer, and the reason this platform leans toward the people doing the work.

Narrative and experimental animation, motion graphics, graphic design and creative marketing — concept-led work that turns identity and place into visual systems.

A UCLA B.A. in Film, Television & Digital Media. She wrote and directed Control 4C, her animated thesis; Live Nation projected an animation of hers live at the Brooklyn Paramount; she led editorial at FAST and developed stories at Kugali Media, the studio behind Disney Animation’s Iwájú.

Co Curate is built from that vantage point — the 80% maker share, a direction fee that pays creative directors fairly, budgets proctored in the open, and creatives who are never browsable inventory.
