William Drescher provides innovative design solutions for graphics, motion, branding, logos, and virtual environments. With more than 20 years of experience, I use a collaborative process focusing on design, speed, and flexibility. My creative direction, software, VR, and Zoom expertise, combined with strong problem-solving experience and project management, ensure that deadlines are met and projects exceed expectations.
I started out with a career in Show Jumping followed a passion to drive things with a lot more Italian horses, before going back to school to study Film, TV Production, Lighting, PR and Negotiation. I still do a little dog training with troubled dogs and thier owners who need help.
After going back to school, I developed a passion for motion graphics at the post houses and TV networks in NYC and Seattle. Here are a few career highlights.

Expert in developing a creative environment, team development and mentoring, education and staying on brand.
Web Design and Adobe CSS. I have built many sites, including this one, for clients, demo's, internal style guides, galleries, and friends
On of my biggest strengths has always been my ability to understand and stretch the use of technology, Whether it is a plug-in for Adobe, or developing the process for an asset manager, or beta testing for one of several program, I have always been fortunate to take on those things with ease.
I carried my Apple IIe to class at Emerson College. Then graduated to the first Color Laptop they made. From there, I managed MAC OS for Post Houses in NYC including, Post Perfect and Red Car. I won awards for Innovation from NBC for using my Mac Laptop to keep graphics on the air the night of the NYC Blackout. In Seattle, I built the first 20TB Xsan to be used in a cross collaborative work space with Artist and Editors and then updated it, with out loss of time to Xsan 2.0.
Expert in Motion Design. I have been on Beta teams for Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Beta tester for several plugin packages including Sapphire, Zaxwerks, Red Giant and others. Founded NYCMG.org, the largest gathering of artists in NYC for 8 years.
