The design department at Chicago post house Hootenanny is growing with the addition of new hire Brian Stevens.
Brian is a motion designer capable in a variety of design and animation styles, including 2D, 3D and hand-drawn. He is well-trained in fine arts and has been tinkering with animation since he can remember, making designs and characters come alive.
“My whole life, I’ve been motivated to craft moments that are delightful, immersive and expressive,” Brian explains of his passion for animation.
Prior to joining Hootenanny, Brian worked as a designer for an educational game company, where his responsibilities included animation, graphics work, UI/UX and accessibility. He also took on various motion design projects as a freelancer.
In the short few months since Brian has been at Hootenanny, his unique skillset has already proven useful in providing effective motion design solutions for brands like Pepsi and McDonald’s.
