About Me

Carey Conley

Hello!
FacebookEmail
Hello!  Thanks for taking the time to check out my work!   I’m a motion graphics designer/creative artist/adventure seeker! I’ve been working in motion picture advertising in various capacities for almost 20 years now.  One of my teachers, hired me straight out of Gnomon School of Visual Effects to my first job at BLT, and the rest is history!  I love learning new things, surrounding myself with creative fun people to continue to explore this constantly changing market, and making really cool looking visuals!
