Our Team

Dwayne Melcher – President & Partner

Dwayne has been working as a professional production designer and project manager since 2003 after he graduated with a diploma in 3D Animation and Design from New Media Campus in Regina, Saskatchewan. Working in Regina for the past several years has given Dwayne the ability to create high-quality digital media and designs as well as to become a well-recognized contributor to the community. Producing marketing tools, designs, and strategic presentations for hundreds of companies locally and nationally, has afforded Dwayne the experience he needs to adapt to unforeseen emergencies and to find solutions. His passion was originally for 3D/2D animation, website design, graphic design, and other media design, but has since switched over to overall customer growth and satisfaction. Dwayne is the company’s “role model”, creative leader and futurist visionary by applying simple values to every step of his projects. He truly believes that we must, “think of the end user, consider the project’s ultimate goal, and always be honest.”
