Casey Richards

Hi,

I'm Casey,


A professional daydreamer, and full time creative.

I studied Fine Arts straight out of high school, got my Diploma in Digital Animation, and I've been working in the animation industry ever since.


My hobbies include riding motorbikes, rock climbing, playing piano, and collecting an unreasonable amount of houseplants.


My favourite part of being an artist is the collaborative process of visual story telling. I love working with others to bring their own inner worlds to life.
