Animade is a globally operating design and animation studio, established in 2010. We are a tight-knit team of designers, animators, and organisers united by a common purpose: to make the world more characterful.
Tom, Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director, studied Illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University before completing a Masters in Animation at the RCA in London. A love for coding and the interactive space keeps Animade thinking beyond the linear. His early works include an eyebrow hat (yes, exactly what it sounds like) and an Everyday project that inspired some chap called Beeple.
Jim is an accomplished Art Director at Animade, with over 15 years of experience in the creative industry, specialising in character design and motion branding. He is the writer and director of Donkey Wrong, Animade’s charming short film about a humble seaside donkey’s 15 minutes of fame, which screened at Pictoplasma Berlin in 2022.
Jim has also led art direction for Samsung’s 2022 New Year’s Eve social campaign, and collaborations with BBC Stories and Hitachi Energy to expand children’s understanding of energy. He is currently the creative force behind Animade’s upcoming refreshed look.
