Okay Samurai
Okay Samurai showcases tutorials and creative projects from me (Dave Werner). I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California and work as the Senior Experience Designer Lead on Adobe Character Animator (but thoughts and opinions on this channel are my own).
Past projects include the Extraneous Lyrics music series, the indie video game Atmosphir, and the Okaydave design portfolio. Some of my work has been featured by Entertainment Weekly, TechCrunch, Laughing Squid, Mashable, College Humor, Kotaku, VH1's Best Week Ever, Slate, FWA and Sesame Street. I also enjoy speaking and teaching at events like SXSW, San Diego Comic Con, How Design Conference, NAB, IBC, and Adobe MAX.
