A quick note about me.

My beautiful wife Stacy and I live in the amazing city of Detroit about 20 minutes away from where we first met and fell in love, all the way back in middle school. Our pug named Esther keeps the fort safe while we raise our incredible daughter, Eliza.

I spent the first half of my professional career creating tour visuals and large-scale animations to backdrop musicians and stage productions. Pepper in a few years as the Senior Art Director at a Detroit agency called Handcar, as well as a ton of one-off projects for artists and brands and you’ve got my life. Throughout all of that time, I’ve had the chance to use photography, design, animation, and my most-loved medium; film to tell authentic stories that carry well beyond the length of the clip.

I love being a creator. The work I do is important to me because the day will eventually come when my daughter stumbles upon my old work, finding all of the content I’ve poured my life into creating and I simply cannot take her not liking it.

I’m Doug Oliver, and I’d be honored to help tell your story.
