ABOUT ME.
Hi there, I’m Tylar!
Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always loved design and art and just making things - taking a handful of raw materials and tools and building them into something new and completely different from the sum of their parts. I got my start in theater and live events where I worked in lighting design, scenic design, and technical direction - often all at the same time! Currently I’m a full-time motion designer, but I’ve been lucky enough to learn about new areas of design as well - things like UX, web design, video editing, and graphic design among others. That’s all part of the fun, you see - collecting new tools and learning new tricks.
