Hello! I'm Joe Russo, and as far back as I can remember, I've always felt a strong desire to express myself through art & animation. This passion fuels both my personal and professional projects, helping me better understand myself and hopefully contribute something meaningful to the world.

Understanding an idea's purpose and developing its potential is fundamental to my process. To bring the idea to life, I thrive on balancing project management, creative vision, and technical skills to make the entire visual experience effective and enjoyable. I enjoy sketching and digital painting to quickly explore design and mood, then I love translating that vision into 3D production due to its style versatility, technical structure, and iterative refinement. I'm constantly learning, adapting, reflecting, and always eager for the next challenge.

When I'm not pursuing artistic endeavors, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on bike rides, hiking, exploring nature, playing video games, board games, learning new things, and cooking.
