Hi, I’m David Killingsworth. I’m a 3D animator and creative director based in Bakersfield, CA, producing 3D animations and short-form video content for artists and commercial clients across social and digital platforms. I lead projects from concept development through final delivery, handling modeling, lighting, animation, and rendering, while keeping a consistent visual voice. I’ve created animation and visual content for music and fashion clients, including Nike, Coachella, Virgil Abloh, and Tyler, the Creator, and I also craft 3D architectural renders and visualizations to support donor-funded and future development initiatives. I’m passionate about blending design, storytelling, and technology to deliver engaging campaigns and compelling visuals. I enjoy cross-functional collaboration, planning and executing marketing campaigns for campus events and recruitment, and helping brands and institutions articulate their message through digital media and innovative content strategies.
