ABOUT ME

Ted Hanik

I started out brewing characters to life on The Simpsons — sketching, posing, and making them move like they had a mind of their own. That early grind taught me to trust fundamentals: draw well, plan well, and never phone it in.

These days, my toolkit’s expanded — motion graphics, video production, marketing — but the same rule applies: know your tools, know the order, don’t rush the shot. Like pulling the perfect espresso, good creative work is all about the right sequence and the right pressure at the right time.

I’ve mixed my drawing chops with animation and 3D, producing everything from game trailers to explainer videos to big-screen promos. I handle the whole process — research, trends, filming, editing — so the final product hits like that first sip of strong coffee: smooth, clear, and impossible to ignore.

Outside of client work, I’ve built my own brand content, sales funnels, and social campaigns, so I get what drives clicks, conversions, and loyalty — and what falls flat.

I like projects that keep me moving — strategy, hands-on production, mentoring younger creatives, or tackling last-minute curveballs. I take pride in doing things right, not fast-and-forgettable.

If you’re after someone who knows how to pull a clean shot — and a clean timeline — let’s chat. I’m ready when you are.

Brittany Charnley

Director of Marketing at Friends Christian School

Ted is an expert in his field. I had the pleasure of working with Ted during his time at Laserfiche as the Lead Multimedia Designer. He has a high level of organizational skills and the ability to create excellent work within deadlines. I was particularly impressed by the way he was able to take the simplest sketches and turn them into expertly crafted animations with little to no direction. In addition to his wide range of technical skills, Ted is also a great teacher and is very clear and concise when explaining concepts, ideas, or processes. Ted is a talented artist, creative thinker, and a valuable addition to any team he is a part of.

Design Manager at Inspire

I initially worked with Ted building out e-learning courses in IBM. During that time he proved to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and was excellent in communicating his ideas. Although Ted is highly talented as a graphic artist he is an inspiration and never ceases to learn and explore new areas to better his skills. I miss his positive attitude, feedback and patience on our previous team. It would be great to work with him again.

He's a very talented artist with a wide range of skills. Whether it's storyboarding a scene for a shoot, creating an animation or shooting video, Ted is an outstanding talent to work with. I look forward to future collaborations with Ted!
