Ed Laag
I had the pleasure to work with Akira on multiple projects. Akira has phenomenal vision as a creative story teller. His eye for excellent cinematic shots helped elevate the quality of each project that he was a part of. Concise and clever, his feedback was very useful an productive. As a designer/animator I was able to converse and bounce back ideas with Akira to come up with a solution in a seamless manner. Akira's calm and collect demeanor have helped our teams problem solve more efficiently. Synergistic in his workflow and his approach to collective problem solving, Akira melded people together. I highly recommend Akira, for he is a tremendous asset to have on a team.
