Background

About Jason Kane

As a senior creative leader with over 25 years of experience in 3D art, creative direction, and technical development, I have contributed to industry-defining projects across games, film (including The Hobbit trilogy), and automotive HMI (in next-gen Ford electric vehicles). My expertise lies in leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver immersive, high-quality digital experiences from concept through to final delivery. I have a proven track record in leading creative initiatives, mentoring global teams, and developing innovative real-time solutions. My recent work includes spearheading the design, development, and integration of real-time 3D environments, interactive HUDs, and real-time systems for advanced vehicle interfaces, which are now featured in high-profile 2024 Ford models like the Mustang Mach-E and Bronco EV. I specialize in combining artistic vision with technical expertise—including shader programming (GLSL, HLSL), Python automation, and C++ development—to optimize workflows and create cutting-edge solutions. I also have extensive experience in game design and environmental storytelling, with a deep understanding of lighting, rendering, and visual composition. Known for my ability to collaborate across departments, I excel in stakeholder management and project ownership, ensuring that creative and technical objectives are consistently met on time and within budget. I’ve successfully led projects with both small, agile teams and global cross-functional teams, delivering exceptional results for major clients like Activision Blizzard, Ford, and Warner Bros. I am currently seeking opportunities where I can drive creative innovation and lead transformative projects that push the boundaries of game design, immersive media, and interactive technologies. I am particularly passionate about working with forward-thinking teams in gaming, automotive, or next-gen digital experiences, where my skills in creative strategy and cutting-edge technical solutions can have the greatest impact.
