Hero4Hire Creative<\/a>\u00a0has tapped Abby Duel as Associate Creative Director. The multitalented artist specializes in 2D animation. Her diverse skill set is perfect for H4H\u2019s wide-spanning clientele. She is proficient in Adobe Animate and Toon Boom and has worked on projects with studios all across North America including Titmouse, MAKE Visual, Copernicus, and Rooster Teeth. As part of her role, she will oversee animation projects from the studio for clients including PBS, WGBH, Sesame Workshop, Hasbro, and many more.<\/p>\nHaving worked in-house with Hero4Hire Creative as an animator prior, Duel kept in close touch with the Boston-based studio for contract and freelance work throughout her career. Hero4Hire Creative Partner\/ Executive Producer Allison Kramer reached out to Duel directly to fill the ACD role.<\/p>\n
Notes Kramer, \u201cAbby was actually a full-time animator at our studio several years ago but left because she wanted to be closer to her family in Minnesota. When we decided to go fully remote Abby was our first call. She is not only extremely talented but she\u2019s organized and a real team player. We knew she would be perfect to lead projects at H4H.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adds Duel, \u201cEven after the difficult decision to move back to Minnesota after being in-house with Hero4Hire, working with the studio and the team had been one of the highlights of my career. It was such a wonderful environment to grow in as an artist. Their projects have such a unique creative range that I\u2019ve not found in any other studio. To have been asked back as an Associate Creative Director is so thrilling and I can\u2019t wait to continue my adventure with them!\u201d<\/p>\n
A Minnesota native driven by a passion for the arts for an early age, Duel discovered animation in a preparatory school post-high school, then attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a BFA in animation. Shortly after graduating she cut her teeth in the industry as an animator for Copernicus. She has worked on a variety of projects including CBS\u2019 Star Trek: Lower Decks. Disney\u2019s Pickle and Peanut, Amazon\u2019s If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and several commercial spots for Hasbro\u2019s Angry Birds toy line. In 2015 she won Best Student Film at the Minnesota Electronic Theater Showcase.<\/p>\n
