I started Tugboat Studios because of a trend I saw in the VFX and post production world. The industry is proliferating with new technology every year. AI is shaping the landscape in new ways, making teams smaller and more personal. What took teams of people 10 years ago can be produced by fewer artists using modern techniques. I see an opportunity there to build relationships with fellow artists, clients and businesses in my community to tell their stories.

In my career I have worked on well over 30 different TV VFX productions, along with commercial projects with a wide scope of needs. Episodic TV, commercials, product rendering, 3D animation, music videos, game content, motion graphics, video edits and even VR. If you’re in need of these services, We want to talk with you!
