My name is Justin Milgate. I am a flannel-wearing California transplant that is happy to call the Pacific Northwest home. I am an animator, freelance illustrator, father and husband. I have always been fascinated with animation. Everything from initial spark to final result has captured my imagination and inspired me. After a roundabout journey, I find myself doing something I have always dreamed of doing and only recently started believing it to be real.
Keep exploring this site to learn more and see what I’m up to.
