ABOUT ROB TENDY
A little more
about me.
I’m a motion designer, animator, and producer/director in New York. I lead the video team at 92NY, and I’ve spent nearly a decade working across nonprofits, education, the arts, and branded content.
NEW YORK, NYWHAT I DO
Video, animation,
and creative direction.
I’m Director of Digital Video Production at 92NY, where I lead a four-person team. I develop concepts and visual approaches, guide the work, and manage budgets, schedules, and delivery. These days I delegate much of the animation, while staying hands-on with shooting, editing, compositing, and the finishing details.
Most of my career has been in nonprofit media, education, and the arts. I’ve worked on educational films, social campaigns, and cultural programming, alongside commercial projects and independent work.
I co-created and produced The Emily Spinach Show in 2021. I’m also Creative Producer on DEL Dancing Phonics, a ten-video K–2 series that brings together phonics, dance, live action, and animation.
Children’s educational media is my favorite corner of all this. It brings together my background in performance, design, and animation. There’s room to be clear, thoughtful, and occasionally very silly.

WHEN I’M NOT WORKING
I like getting out into the woods, disappearing into a good video game, and thinking about the scale of the universe. I live in Harlem with a cat named Hippo, who has no particular opinion about the scale of the universe.
