About
Hi, I'm Cody.
I've spent more than a decade producing, animating and directing video, much of it for schools, educators and nonprofits, plus behind-the-scenes work for other studios. A favorite: the Making Waves series, mixed-media videos for an education nonprofit.
I started The Explainery after becoming a dad. I wanted to keep doing work I love while being present at home. What I bring to every project is a habit of looking at problems from unusual angles, which is usually where the clearest explanation is hiding.
Based on Colorado's Western Slope, working with teams anywhere.
