Anthony Palermo
Motion Design | Art Direction | 3D Generalist

HELLO THERE!
Hi, I’m Anthony. I’ve spent more than 13 years as a 3D Motion Designer and Art Director, leading teams and shaping creative direction for a wide range of clients and studios.
​
I work closely with creative directors to turn their vision into successful deliverables. My role bridges concept development, production planning, and hands-on problem solving. I help teams deliver complex projects by balancing creative direction, technical requirements, and realistic timelines. I create clear goals, support artists through challenges, and step back when needed to let talent shape the work.
​
My career spans boutique studios, large industry leaders, and agencies, giving me a broad perspective on project workflows and team needs. I am comfortable joining teams of any size, adjusting to various production setups and project scopes. I focus on contributing where most valuable and keeping projects structured and on schedule.
​
I have collaborated with studios including The Heist, The Mill, Almost Gold, Buck, Hue & Cry, Carbon, and Coat of Arms. I have led projects of all sizes and am committed to both creative quality and effective processes. Strong visuals, clear workflows, realistic schedules, and well-supported teams are all essential to successful work.
​
Outside of work, I’m a dad to two awesome kids and a husband to an amazing wife. I love building LEGO, tinkering, and doing family art projects on a Saturday afternoon. I’m always happy to chat about comics, video games, or animation.
