Who am i?
Hiya, I’m Chad, a director/creative director. For the last decade I’ve ran a studio called Yeah Haus with my wife Michelle. I love making things and collaborating and it's all been a dream really. I’ve been able to do a bit of everything - motion design, animation, stop motion & live action. But there is one thing I feel strongest about, scarves in creative situations. Rest assured, I’ll never put on a scarf one minute before an important meeting. I may wear a scarf. Who knows. But I’ll have been wearing it for at least an hour before the meeting. I’m not anti-scarf—
Anyhoo. Recently, with 2 young boys and a business, we decided to transition Yeah Haus to passion projects only. Which leads me over here to Hiya Chad (aka me). I’m ready to help solve creative problems whenever and wherever the wind takes me. Like a bird. Maybe an ostrich.
Warmest wishes,
Chad Thompson

MUSIC STUFF
Over the years I’ve gotten to make tons of music, play heaps of shows, tour, record albums, play with insanely talented musicians, and on and on. It’s played such a deep and profound role in my life, I don’t know where I’d be without out it.
FUN FACT #1 - I’m a big fan of high kicks and loose choreography during stage performances
FUN FACT #2 - I played snare drum in the Michigan State University Marching Band which may explain Fun Fact #1
