Jeffrey Smith

I'm an animator and illustrator born from the potato clad fields of Idaho. My wife and I currently live in Kelowna, BC where she runs her own business as a ceramic artist(Drift Ceramics) and I work as a Animation Director for ICON Creative Studio on a wide variety of high profile television projects; including the following:

  • Transformers: Earthspark - Nickelodeon

  • The Dragon Prince - Wonderstorm

  • Supernatural Academy - Peacock

  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021) - Disney

  • DreamWorks Dragons: Rescue Riders - DreamWorks

  • 44 Cats - Rainbow SpA

I’ve only been animating full-time for a couple years now but I'm loving every second of it. In addition to completing an animated short titled "The Violent Blue," I have partnered in startups such as Karma Tech Longboards and Indi Collective. If I'm not studying, painting or animating then I'm most likely writing, performing music, or trekking to some epic landscape with friends and family.

I think there is power in words, art and music, and I want to influence people to be the best version of themselves and find solace in that discovery through these mediums. I love the synergy that is generated through collaboration and I thrive best around other creatives. I've chosen animation as my career medium but I am well versed in illustration, design, music and writing.

I'm really just a storyteller at heart.
