Mike spent close to a decade animating on major studio features in Vancouver before leading the animation team as Animation Director on the Australian feature 'My Freaky Family'. He has since brought that experience to games, with credits including Diablo IV and LEGO Party.
At Superneat he supervises productions, currently leading animation on the studio’s ongoing work with Blizzard on the Diablo franchise. He’s also the technical brain behind the studio’s in-house software, building the review and production tools that keep a team spread across three countries running smoothly.
