Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson is an animation and gaming instructor. His first industry job was game-style architecture, modeling for the History Channel’s Engineering an Empire. Freelance work gave way to a leading role as a 3D designer and animator for the Emmy Award-winning PBS Kids show Word World. After a two-year stint as an instructional technologist in graphic design and animation at NYU – where he produced dozens of animations and 3D interactive elements for a variety of courses – Richard is thrilled to return to teaching, his greatest passion.
