Studio Lumen started in 2019. We're still small on purpose — every project gets the whole studio's attention, not a fraction of it.
We're animators, designers, and one very opinionated sound editor, working out of a converted warehouse in Red Hook. We came up making things for other studios before deciding to make things under our own name.
What we care about: pacing that respects the viewer's attention, sound design that isn't an afterthought, and never shipping a frame we wouldn't want in our own reel.

12 years directing brand film. Keeps every project honest about its actual timeline.
Obsessive about easing curves. Will redo a bounce four times before it feels right.
Came from print design — brings a typographer's eye to every kinetic title sequence.
Builds sound beds before a single frame is animated — says timing follows sound, not the other way round.
