Conor creates worlds you want to live in—warm, offbeat universes where puppets have souls, animations breathe with life, and every frame pulses with personality. His signature blend of tactile, handcrafted visuals with razor-sharp humour has made him one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary advertising.
