David Greene was born and raised in London Ontario. He graduated from NSCAD University in Halifax Nova Scotia in 2003 with a major in fine art and a minor in art history. During this time he studied printmaking with a focus on lithography, intaglio and wood engraving.

Since graduating from NSCAD David started working in the world of 3d animation carrying over his love for the technical challenges and process that printmaking gave. He is a founding partner in Electric Company Art and Design where he works as VFX Director with a team called BTRY, with whom he produces creative as well as commercial work.

After studying Contemporary Art Theory & Experimental Sculpture (McGill and OCAD) and several years spent as a maintenance man, Mike was able to pull these influences into motion design and found a love in this new art form. He is currently Creative Director and Co-Founder of Toronto based studio BTRY.

He has been featured in, and written for, several publications including WIRED, 3d World, CGWorld and has taught and spoken at several institutions including the University of Tampa, and the Center for Living Arts.

Steve worked at Amoeba Corp. in Toronto as a 3d illustrator for several years for such clients as Nike, Molson, and Universal Music where he was nominated for a Juno award in 2000 for his illustrative work.
