Deb Devries
Award-Winning Voice Actor
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Karl on multiple projects over the past two years. We met serendipitously at a Starbucks when he heard I was a voice actor. Shortly after our meeting he reached out to engage me to voice one of his projects. I share this because, for me, it demonstrates a number of Karl's many strengths. In working with Karl he has repeatedly demonstrated courage, creativity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to his convictions. He excels in his ability to craft an engaging story through his animation, even when the subject matter is highly technical. He has always responded promptly and clearly to any questions I've posed to him on his projects. I highly recommend Karl for any professional who is looking for someone to clearly and creatively tell the story of their product, service, or procedures.
Ed Gonzalez
Manager, Design at Guidespark
I hired, managed, and trained Karl during this year's busy season at Guidespark. Our ramp up time was cut short as the work was piling up on us, and so Karl stepped in immediately and made an impact. He's a hard working, diligent designer who knows his way in After Effects. He's dedicated to his craft, and shows stewardship and care for his projects. Another great attribute to Karl is his sense to communicate and to seek improvement to just not better himself, but to also better the product and the production process. He is a team player, and works well in a design team!

Karl is a very likable person, but that is where the awesome starts.
After meeting Karl through a mutual connection, I reached out to collaborate on an animated explainer video for my company. I had many ideas and thoughts, as I am also a creative, but Karl took my thoughts/ideas and put them in a box and pulled out what was needed to create a short and concise message that my prospects could understand.
Now with a fun, lively animated video on my website, people who are not in the marketing or agency space clearly understand what and how I help clients create a unique visually branded message.
If you are needing an explainer video, Karl and his team are your team of choice. Contact Karl.

I had the opportunity to use squash and stretch productions to animate one of my advertisements. Karl came very highly recommended from a few people I know. Now I'm always a little cautious using a new service, but was actually very impressed with the whole process. From start to finish I had complete control of the project. Karl walked me through the whole entire process allowing me to tailor make the animated ad to fit exactly what our company mission is. He is blessed with the ability to capture and envision what your company is, where it is going, and where it is that you want it to go and compile that into an expression that people can relate to and easily grasp. Thank you Karl.

Our company landed a large eLearning animation project from one of our clients involving a lot of character animation with multiple videos. The project had many complexities as well as a tight schedule during the holidays. We brought on Karl and his company Squash and Stretch Productions. They not only stuck with us through some of the project's twists and turns, but also did a stellar job turning over quality work quickly. Our client and our shop was thrilled with Squash and Stretch under Karl's leadership and animating talents. Anyone in need of animation - character or otherwise need look no further than here.

Karl worked quickly to complete the projects I contracted him for. He was able to skillfully put them together with short notice, and took direction to implement changes while still meeting deadlines. I would definitely work with him again!
