About Ryan Summers:
Originally planned to be a chemical engineer until I was hit by the double-punch combo of Jurassic Park and Toy Story – and then it was animation from there on. I’ve worked as an character animator on children’s videos, created the visuals for industry-leading slot machines, and designed the opening titles for some of the highest rated shows on TV.
