I am Brad Lewis, an artist and game developer with over a decade of experience in 3D art, video, design, programming, and animation. I founded Animatech Studios, my freelance studio, where I lead projects from concept to delivery, building animations, websites, applications and graphics for a diverse range of clients. I thrive on solving creative and technical challenges, collaborating with teams to craft immersive visuals for games and media.

Currently I serve as Art Director at FORBIDDEN KEMONO STUDIOS, guiding a team in creating three upcoming indie titles, while also drawing on my QA, teaching, and production background to ensure quality and storytelling across projects. My background spans film, education, and interactive media, including QA testing at VRPATIENTS, videography and graphics for the Columbus Fire Department, and teaching Lighting Design at Columbus College of Art & Design. I’m passionate about mentorship and pushing the boundaries of animation and game design.
