David Houry’s Experience

• Animator / Illustrator

  American Greetings

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Consumer Goods industry)

  June 2007 — Present (2 years 2 months)

  I work with various clients (Disney, Wal*Mart, Playtex, etc.) to create custom eCards and online games for advertising on American Greetings' websites. I am required to research and match branding styles of each client, while generating fresh content through a variety of techniques. These include character animation, digital painting, concept art, storyboarding, as well as traditional illustration.
  
  The work I create goes live within a week or so and is free for you to enjoy and send to friends and family!
