WHO IS TRAVIS TESSMER?

As it said on my homepage: I'm a Designer/Animator from Chicago, IL. I worked at The Onion for 3 years as a Motion Designer, initially hired on with a focus on Snapchat and Instagram Stories. I quickly moved over to working on both editorial (Onion, AV Club, Clickhole, The Takeout) and branded content (Onion Labs). Of course, that's not all I do.

Out of college, I was given complete control over the visual design of a startup company from logos to web design to print brochures and explainer videos. At the same time I was doing the same thing and then some attempting to start up my own company for a contract animating motion comics (and yeah, I got to animate Stan Lee. It was awesome).

Outside of work experience, I'm a writer by hobby. I'm constantly bursting with ideas, and writing gives me an outlet to get them all out. In my free time, I've written a couple pilots for animated series I someday want to produce, and I'm currently halfway through writing a fiction book about superheroes.
