PIXAR

Led the experience design of a proprietary software system used to control cameras, sets, character’s motion, and the look of each frame for 3D animated features. Collaborated with the company’s artistic and technical staff to design tools to realize the director’s creative vision. Developed software delivery strategies that balanced each film’s production requirements against the technical complexity and resources required to make the software. Under my leadership, the team delivered tools for the production of Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles, two of which won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature.
