Framestore’s Design Studio is a highly-skilled collective made up of directors, designers and animators who collaborate with clients to deliver beautifully impactful work across all platforms. In addition to Dan, the Chicago office has also recently welcomed Senior VFX Designer Tim Sepulveda to further expand the newest outpost of Framestore’s global Design Studio. Framestore’s Chicago office is proud to bring exclusive talent from within Framestore whilst pulling top talent from within the Chicago design community.

“In the short time I’ve been here, it’s become apparent that Chicago is a beautiful and endlessly inspiring city that strives to push design forward,” Dan Solomon, CG Designer. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to take this inspiration and apply it to my work along with the creatives at Framestore, and I’m looking forward to contributing to Chicago's community of artists and designers.”

Moving from Framestore’s Design Studio in New York, Dan is welcomed in Chicago where he aspires to continue increasing his involvement with the global VFX and design communities. His role illustrates how integral the aesthetics and principles of design are to Framestore’s diverse offering, tying together the intricacies of visual effects and interactive media. The Design Studio is central to Framestore with infinite opportunities to marry the company’s capabilities. Framestore is delighted to extend their creative offerings to the Chicago market.
