If you've ever left a post house feeling drained or bedraggled, we have a suggestion: Arrange your schedule so your 2-D animation or Motion Graphics work with Allison McBeath comes at the end of your day. She's so positively positive, so completely can-do, it's infectious. Add to that the fact her work is exceptional and you'll also walk away feeling much better about your project. Maybe even the world.

Allison prides herself on approaching every assignment with the same upbeat and constructive energy, to make each project better than anyone expects it to be. Anyone. Which encompasses you, the viewer and Allison herself. This positivity and gung ho-ness was, she says, instilled and cultivated at her alma mater, The University of Cincinnati's highly regarded College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning (DAAP). But the fact that she still has it, still exudes it, years later, after countless professional projects, is all Allison.

Her animation and graphics are consistently inspired, frequently innovative, abundantly communicative and always designed to augment the visual presentation, reflecting and supporting its tone and mood. The short version is, she gets it. And when you see the results, you'll want to get them again and again. Talk about a positive experience.
