Some of the great teams I have worked with...

Sean Kelly

Independent Media Consultant

Among the many attributes Lee brings to the table, his ability to see the big picture while remaining focused on details can not be overstated. Lee is a craftsman when working on animation and graphic design, but he never forgets that the end game is producing work that delivers on the client's message. That pairing of passion with purpose is one way in which Lee elevates the value he brings to his clients.

Brianne Hoffman

Strategic Communications Manager

I have worked with Lee Smalt over the past couple of years. From employee engagement projects to introducing new technology or recognition efforts, Lee worked with key stakeholders to identify deliverables, common purpose and an understanding of the media resources needed to achieve the desired outcomes. He is a great listener, always seeking to understand with positive intent and focused on solutions."

Daniel Yates

Founder- Blue Collar Brands

"Lee is passionate about his work. Highly skilled in marketing (internal & external), video, graphic design, you name it. Pair his unique skill set with his ability to solve problems quickly and you will be highly impressed. He has been nothing but professional, personable, and hospitable and I am blown away by the help he has provided me."

Derek Fletcher

Filmmaker

Lee loves to understand the how, what, and why to whatever project he’s tackling. His willingness to learn new programs like Blender amd Unreal and his studious approach to new technologies is what makes him someone I can rely on for any question I have. Keep being an innovator/pioneer in design/3D animation/creativity!
