Hi, I'm Tom Jurgensen, a passionate Director of Animation & Design based in Chicago. I started my career in traditional 2D motion graphics and editing and have since grown my expertise to include compositing, 3D workflows, and virtual production using advanced technologies like Unreal Engine. I love combining creativity with technology to bring exciting projects to life. Currently, I manage a Virtual Production operation integrating high-fidelity 3D environments and LED volumes, similar to what you might have seen in shows like Disney’s The Mandalorian. I enjoy leading creative teams, mentoring junior creatives, and exploring new design trends and mediums to continuously innovate in my field.
