Why us
MAKING MAGIC SINCE 2013
Theory Studios is led by Emmy-nominated creative David Andrade and long-time technologist Mark Olson. Collectively, David and Mark have worked in the media industry for over 20 years in interactive, architecture and TV.
Our team of 25 creatives, designers and developers are always at the forefront of technology. In 2013 we pioneered the way forward with cloud rendering technology using AWS. Today, we’re innovating in the Unreal & XR space.
In 2017 David and the team were nominated for an Emmy and a VES award for their work on Man in the High Castle’s CGI. In 2021 they were part of the THEA award winning team for Bourne Stuntacular. In 2023, Theory Studios, along with their consortium team members XRT, was selected for a competitive U.S. Marine Corps Driver Training Systems contract.
