Hey there! I’m Amario Andre’, an Atlanta-based animator and creative storyteller.
My journey began at 11 when my family and I founded Amario's Art Academy, the first comic book-based art school in Atlanta, partnering with organizations like Pinewood Studios and Chick-fil-A to empower young artists.

Around the same time, I started crafting YouTube videos and founded "Black Lion Media," producing fan-made gaming content for Halo. That passion grew into creating original games, comics, and animated shorts, including Abandoned: The Video Game. After graduating from SCAD with a BFA in Animation, I joined Dagger Agency, where I currently work for nearly three years creating high-impact ad campaigns and developing motion graphics content for top-tier brands.
Now, I lead ad campaigns for brands like Aflac, atlanta journal constitution, jack's, Autotrader, and Carter’s & a ton more! also known for animating the aflac duck & Aflac’s CG rival, the "Gap Goat."
Whether creating content or mentoring through Amarios Art Academy, I’m passionate about pushing creative boundaries and telling stories that resonate.
