WARREN RUDD

ABOUT ME

Visual Development & Animation



I’m Warren Rudd, a Visual Development & Animation artist. I create immersive visual experiences that blend illustration, motion, and cinematic storytelling for museums, cultural institutions, agencies, and brands. My work includes collaborations with the Field Museum, Intuit Museum, and the Waukegan History Museum, along with creative contributions to projects for brands including Google, Wrangler, and the Chicago Bulls. 


My focus is immersive installations, visual development, abstract 3D design, and atmospheric animation—the kind of work that transforms a space or invites people to pause, explore, and look a little longer. I enjoy combining procedural techniques, fluid simulations, and painterly textures to create visuals that feel both handcrafted and alive, whether they live on a museum wall, a large-scale projection, or a digital screen.


Collaboration is at the heart of my process. I love partnering with museums, agencies, studios, and fellow artists to develop thoughtful visual narratives that push beyond the expected. If you’re looking for someone who brings curiosity, craftsmanship, and a detail-driven approach to every project, I’d love to connect.
