Dean Heezen

Toronto, ON Canada

For the past 15 years, Dean has designed for commercial, series, video games and award winning feature films productions including “Inside Out 2” from Pixar Animation Studios. Most recently, he was Supervising Character Designer on Netflix’s ongoing animated series “Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85.” Whether leading a team or working as an independent freelancer, Dean values building strong, collaborative environments across departments in order to innovate creative ideas that can push boundaries while still being respectful to pipeline’s needs.

When not hidden behind a computer screen, Dean can be spotted cycling around looking for good coffee, people to sketch, and theory crafting D&D characters to design and play.
