About
Hi, I’m Mike Gilbert, a multidisciplinary 2D layout artist with 20 years of broadcast animation experience spanning content for young viewers and mature audiences. I bring a solid foundation in layout design, background paint, character design, and hands-on supervision to ensure cohesive visuals and efficient pipelines. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy guiding teams from rough concepts to production-ready assets.
I’ve worked on high-volume television pipelines delivering to network, web, and streaming platforms, and I’m skilled at maintaining model and perspective consistency while meeting tight deadlines. I’m comfortable designing props, a variety of assets, and animation sequences, and I continuously seek ways to improve process and quality in every project.
