Available to hire
Hi, I’m John Thompson, a 2D animator with a BFA in Animation from SCAD (class of 2025). I specialize in 2D character animation, FX, and storyboarding, and I contribute to animatics and compositing to bring scenes to life.
I’m a collaborative, ambitious creator who thrives in team settings. My background includes leadership as a Culinary Specialist aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, where I learned discipline, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving that I bring to animation projects.
