Hi. I’m Drysen.

I help companies explain what they do, why it matters, and why anyone should care. Whether it's a product walkthrough, a launch film, or a series that turns complicated informationinto easy to understand content, I design 2D & 3D animations that shorten sales conversations and make customers say "Ohhh, now I get it."

Here's what working with me looks like:

1. One person, all the way through. You never get handed off to a project manager, a junior, or an account exec.

2. You approve every stage before I build the next one. Treatment, storyboard, style frames, animatic — nothing gets animated until we agree it's right.

3. I bring the right team when the project needs it. Illustrator, 3D specialist, composer — vetted collaborators I've worked with for years.

Since 2011, I've contributed animation, editing, and creative direction to work for Amazon, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Tractor Supply, and board games for IPs including Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict, Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters, and Disney's Villainous. Broadcast commercials, product films, conference visuals, and explainers — for brands you know, and for brands whose engineers wish more people knew them.

Outside of client work, you'll find me hanging with my kids, enjoying the perfect coffee, snowboarding or riding motorcycles depending on the season. At my core, I'm a maker who's happiest when a project lets me push into new creative territory.

Contact.
