Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Haley is an interdisciplinary Animation and Hybrid Director with nine years of professional experience creating immersive experiences across games, film, and AR/VR/MR, currently leading animation at House of How in Portland. Grounded in liberal arts and classical animation training, he pairs craft-level storyboarding and fabrication skills with hands-on engineering—refactoring C# codebases and architecting database-backed systems when projects demand it. He has built and led academic programs and industry-facing curricula (Massey University, Epic Games, ArtCenter), growing student cohorts and shaping post-secondary game education across regions. A thoughtful producer, he emphasizes human-centered pipelines that bake happiness and sustainable processes into production rather than treating them as afterthoughts. His background running a boutique studio and serving on industry boards demonstrates fluency in pitching, budgeting, and community-building, including coordinating major events and student competitions. Expect a creative leader who moves easily between tonal composition and technical implementation while mentoring the next generation of interactive storytellers.
