About

“The go-to designer for beloved fictional characters, from Tony Stark and Nick Fury to Star-Lord and Spiderman.”
~Meleah Maynard, Mograph.com

Jayse Hansen is known for his future-forward design and animation of computer interfaces, holograms, HUDs, and medical simulations for blockbuster film franchises such as Marvel’s The Avengers, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, and The Hunger Games. His designs advance and clarify storylines in films like Batman v Superman, Star Trek: Beyond, Ender’s Game, Big Hero 6, and the recently announced Top Gun: Maverick.

Digital Production Buzz writes:
“From designing R2-D2’s holographic map to Luke Skywalker, to Iron Man’s holograms and heads-up displays, Jayse Hansen has created iconic user interfaces that define how we view the future and help tell the stories we love.”
