I have been in the video production/motion graphics field for over a decade, cutting my teeth on non-profit documentaries for a small company in Indiana. Since then, I have done work for Sears, John Deere, Honda, and other independent companies. Most recently, I worked with a political agency creating web and broadcast content for people such as Stacey Abrams, Val Demings, and Jaime Harrison. When possible, I like to be a part of the creative development of a project from the start. It makes it easier to establish the look and feel of the finished product as well as making sure it accomplishes its purpose. I'm always trying to think outside of the box to deliver something engaging and compelling.

I'm a tabletop game designer and developer who also creates media for game publishers. The majority of my work has been dedicated to designing card-driven miniature games that blend the interactivity of the former with the dynamic play space engagement of the latter, with the mission to make miniature gaming more accessible through novel design rather than sheer simplification. As a designer, I approach each project by deep-diving into the subject matter, and then applying the ideology that all mechanics must be justified by theme, and the theme must be enhanced by those mechanics. This process leads to games that encapsulate the essence of the subject material and provide a thematically uncompromised experience for players. Whether you're looking for a designer for your upcoming game, consultation on your existing project, or someone with a rich history of production, post-production, and graphic design to help create content and assets for your game, I can help.

2D Graphic Animator, 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animator -Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, Storyboard Pro, Flipnote Studio -Adobe Illustrator, Krita I am Declan McLaren, going by the stage name/nickname Deckers. I usually tell people the only difference between the two names is one's formal and one's not. Though my location says River Forest, IL, I basically live in Chicago as I work and go to school downtown. I really want to make animation full time. I am a student at Columbia College Chicago, and I technically have 12 years of animation experience, but I have never been in the industry and it was all personal projects, and I started when I was 6 and I haven't even hit 20 yet. You get the idea. I can do lip syncs really well, I can do really beautiful sleek ease ins and ease outs, I can do choppy 12 frame animation as well as lifelike 24. My main focus is 2D hand-drawn, but I'll do anything using shapes for motion graphics. Instagram: deckersanimates
