Corey Dimond
A versatile designer with a passion for creating great work.
I’m interested in light and space.
Expert knowledge of most aspects of 3d animation and design - from
film to television, video games to live music visuals. I like to
think I possess a keen ability to adapt to new technologies quickly
as well as innovate and streamline production.
I'm a father to a boy. I'm obsessed with Walstad Aquariums,
Motorcycles, Nature, Computers, Music, Documentary Film, Food, Dogs,
Architecture, Travel, Learning, and on and on and on.
I approach everything I do, hopefully, as a beginner would and
believe as long as I stay open to discovery and feedback I will
continue to learn and grow the rest of my life.
