Hey, I’m Jon ☺ a 3D artist, animator & art director.
Starting in graphic design and branding, I moved to digital painting and illustration for 4 years before transitioning full-time into animation and filmmaking. Often I bring all these skills together to inform my approach, from story-boarding, to illustrating style-frames through to final animation production.
In my freetime I love to make music, playing guitar and piano, as well as being a huge cinefile and logging films on my Letterboxd.
Previous clients and agencies include Adobe, Sarofsky, Disney, TEDED, Ordinary Folk, AIM Creatives, Pretty Dam Sweet, Facebook (Meta), WWF, Blue Man Group, Lasso, The Chase, among others.
My softwares for 3D are Cinema4D / Redshift, Substance Painter, Houdini, Marvelous Designer. Then for comping and 2D I use After Effects, and Photoshop for story-boarding / digital painting.
