Amazing, talented people with specific expertise that we bring aboard according to project needs.  In addition to our Something’s Awry artists and writers, we have relationships with cutting-edge talent, whether it is an individual or group of people that we can bring in to expand our team at a moment’s notice.  But rest assured that our core team works on every project to make sure you get the attention you need and make you feel a part of the family.

Nathan Love – As Directors for Nathan Love Animation Studios in New York, we’re proud to bring our passion for innovative storytelling and top-notch animation to life with them when our slightly ‘awry’ perspective is needed!

Diversity & Inclusion – We embrace diversity and equality in a serious way. We are building a team with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We are committed to listening, learning, and continuously growing our network of people and tools designed to help all Something’s Awry employees and freelancers succeed.

OUR TEAM
