Tyler is a proud big-city dropout who spent years working at studios like DreamWorks and Nickelodeon in Los Angeles before returning home to the Midwest. He has 15+ years of experience creating animation across entertainment, branded content, and live experiences, with a focus on character animation and previs, supported by a strong foundation in VFX and motion graphics.

He currently works remotely with creative production companies and in-house teams, collaborating closely with producers, creative directors, and brand partners to take projects from early ideas through final delivery. His work includes animated campaigns and content for brands such as Google, Apple, Meta, Disney, DreamWorks, Target, Airbnb and the Cleveland Guardians.

When he’s not animating from his Columbus studio, Tyler can usually be found in his garage wood shop, cracking a cold snack and planning his next build.

Tyler is seeking full-time senior or lead animation roles where collaboration, problem-solving, and strong storytelling matter.
