Michael Tan

Design lead and art director working across 3D animation, immersive environments and real time systems.

Based in Sydney, on Gadigal and Dharawal country, and for ten years in Berlin, Germany.

I set concept and visual direction, and build the production systems that deliver it: procedural pipelines in Houdini, real time and interactive work in TouchDesigner and Unity, and custom generative AI workflows that let small teams produce high volume, art directed output.

Work spans brand campaigns and product, permanent exhibition environments, live performance and authored artwork, from mobile AR and game prototypes to 360 degree installations, motor show environments and arena tour visuals.
