Let’s begin here.

Who I am: Mathew Amonson. Known for my skills in various animation and design formats and combining them, I have more than a decade of experience working on international design, animation, and art production from end to end. While developing and leading complex teams and identifying core challenges, problem solving and implementing a wide range solutions, I have achieved a reputation as a person who gets things moving and gets them done properly, while maintaining good communication and vision.

Proactively involved in all aspects of communication, team and project management, I can clearly see the macro views, yet dive deep to identify, support, and correct/revise critical details in order to make beautiful work that meets all internal and external needs, and is on time and on budget.

Based primarily in Tokyo and New York, but traveling extensively, I am highly experienced working with international clients, agency and team members spanning the globe. This involves gaining understanding and building respectful communication environments to produce work in many languages and meet a variety of creative, business and cultural needs.

As a producer and production manager, I have taken projects from first whispers through bidding, scoping, time-line planning, execution, revision and delivery. (very often being asked to produce more because of the successful completion and positive reception)

Ongoing Projects

I maintain MoSoMoS Studio which is an ongoing animation and design project that has continued for over a decade. I am currently consulting, sourcing and helping animation studios in the US and Japan look ahead and prepare for their upcoming projects.
