Meet the newest Six Footer, Tom Richard.
Most of us at Six Foot think Tom Richard has superpowers. He illustrates. He animates. He designs. He manages teams. He raises cattle. He can carry on a conversation with anyone for any amount of time. He does a little of everything. But he is a master of 3D. And that is why he’s on our team, now.
A Houston transplant by way of Louisiana, Tom brings 25 years of advertising design experience to Six Foot. Just prior to coming on board, he ran his own animation shop for 10 years, creating award-winning animations for companies in the energy sector.
When asked why Tom shuttered his own venture to join the madness at Six Foot, Tom confessed, “I’ve spent so many years of my career working with good people, but here I’m surrounded by truly great professionals from every discipline. Even though I’ve been around the block, you can’t stop learning in this business, and you learn from the people you surround yourself with.”
As lead animator, Tom’s main focus at Six Foot is developing animations for clients in the energy industry like Baker Hughes, Shell, and Halliburton. He is also working closely with our Emerging Technology team to generate new offerings for our clients.
Although his talents shine through on a daily basis, he does have a few human tendencies. When asked to pick his ideal superpower, he wasted no time in sharing his response in his flat Cajun accent. “To fly. Cause I hate traffic.”
Such is the plight of the commuting Cajun cowboy.
