My name is Adam Loomis [he/him], and I’m an animator, motion designer and filmmaker.

I make short films, like my latest ‘Jasmine’.

I am a full-time motion designer at Pixel Farm. Until October 2024, I freelanced on commercial projects with clients like Netflix, Visa, World Bank Group, Green America, Kohl's, American Swedish Institute, and more.

I am also an active promoter and advocate of independent animation, especially in my local community of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I currently run the animation festival known as MinnAnimate.
