Ian is a motion designer for Amazon and has done concert visuals for artists like The Glitch Mob, Wooli, The Funk Hunters, Seven Lions and more. He's an absolute beast, pumping out elaborate personal projects and pushing motion graphics into the realm of high-end CG. In our conversation he motivated the hell out of me with his self-starter attitude & work ethic. Literally the day after this conversation I signed up for a $700 Houdini course.
