Said Omar Eshaq was born and raised in Germany, where he studied Communications Design at Bergische Universität Wuppertal and made his first short film. From there his passion for all things animation took off. He worked as a 2D artist at Chimera Entertainment, creating assets for mobile games such as Angry Birds Epic and he has also contributed to Jazam!, a German indie comics anthology. Over the past several years he has been creating and designing characters for professional and personal projects and absolutely loves breathing fun, memorable personalities into his designs. 

Currently he is a Character Designer at Gigglebug Entertainment in Helsinki, Finland. He has designed on the Nickelodeon produced, Gigglebug original series Best & Bester as well as contributing to multiple other IP’s. Most recently, during one of Gigglebugs idea labs (an internally run pitching and co creation session), with his creative partner Romain Beuriot, he conceived and helped create the show concept for Tadpoles, a show which is currently in development and he is very excited to be a part of creatively.

When the pandemic hit, being the naturally driven individual that he is, he sought out to create a group where both new and veteran artists could join via Discord and Zoom. The spaces serve as a way for creatives to connect and share their creative experiences with each other on a weekly basis and build up a community of like minded individuals. His goal moving forward is to develop new and unique animation IPs and direct in the near future.
