Tripp Bassett is a visionary on the cutting-edge of technology,
and utilizes its power to bright our company’s clients’ potential to
life. Highly creative and forward thinking, he has applied his technological savvy to capitalize on emerging developments
ranging from CDROMs and DVDs to the Web – all of which have revolutionized the way we think, communicate and market.

Fascinated by media at an early age, Tripp interned at a local news station then earned his BA degree in Television/Film Production from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. His move to Hollywood piqued his interest in digital editing and graphics animation, inspired his certification in Graphics and Animation from UCLA, and resulted in several impressive advancing positions.

Former senior artist/project manager for Highway One Media Entertainment, Tripp spearheaded the firm’s CD-ROM projects at a time when that medium was first introduced. His responsibilities ranged from video production coordination to supervision of graphics, copy, platform testing and technical support. Tripp next ventured into the pioneering world of Internet broadcasting as senior artist for EntertainNet, then joined AIX Media Group as art director in charge of conceptualizing designing and animating DVD user interface. In 1999 he opened and ran the firm’s NYC operation. Prior to applying his broadcast design, editing and animation
skills to his own business, Tripp worked as senior designer for IKA SpotShop, now IKA Collective, where he serves as animation consultant.

Bank of America, Bantam Books, Breyer’s Ice Cream, Continental Airlines, Pitney Bowes, Scholastic and Showtime have been among his major clients.
