Bio
William Hughes
It was a true pleasure working with David and his team at Tiny Island Productions. He worked very diligently over seeing the production from start to finish on several 3D animated spots for many different mobile games at Big Fish games. David is the definition of professionalism. He is able to see all aspects of a project and helps the client at every turn to make sure that the final product exceeds expectations. I look forward to working with David on future projects.

I have met David during my first months after arriving and settling in Singapore while I was with NanYang Polytechnic as Training Associate and Project Supervisor. David right away demonstrated a passion for animation and a strong interest in establishing local animation artists in Singapore by providing them with opportunities. I always had a strong sense of appreciation from David in the work I was doing with my students which made me feel inspired and motivated and I am sure that again rubbed off to the students as well. David managed to establish his company as one of the main local developer, educator and executer in animation in Singapore, if not in the entire region. I know David went through a lot of ups and downs to reach this goal and I have the deepest respect and admiration for his determination and hard work while keeping an eye on the market and the needs of the local artists. David always demonstrated a smart and clever business mind without neglecting the passion and appreciation for the industry as an art-form. I am looking forward to keep working with David in the future.
