Hi, i’m Austin. If you’re worried I’m some self important ego maniac cause I use my middle initial professionally, don’t be. Back in the long ago internet days, when dial tones ruled the earth, I had my name for a website but lost it. Years later, I could have gotten it back but at way too high a price so instead I pulled out the M and here we are. I’ve always been an artist but wasn’t paid for it until a few years ago. When I came to Los Angeles, I worked in production for live action shows and movies ( that includes The Muppets which was a dream come true), then I moved over to animation production at Disney Feature for about six years, then somewhere along the way I began showcasing my art in gallery shows until some television animation friends told me I could actually design for a living. What a glorious day that was.
Now, I mostly focus on 2D props and effects work, but am capable of designing for a 3D show. My most recent work can be seen on Disney Channels “Hailey’s On It” where I was Lead Props and Effects Designer.
When I am not designing for shows or working on my own personal projects, you can find me scuba diving along the coasts of Catalina Island, trying out the latest tiki inspired libation, or consuming a book on physics or another difficult subject that my friends have deemed “not a book to bring on vacation”.
If you have any questions about work, freelance, or just want to say hello, please click the connect with me link below. I hope to hear from you so we can make very cool things together.
