Tyler Visions’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Tyler Visions. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Tyler, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me actually starts before I even touch my computer. As soon as I wake up, I hop on my cardio bike for a 30 minute ride. I have learned that if I wait, I will start making excuses so I go straight into it. I use that time to catch up on emails, respond to messages, engage on social media, and mentally plan out my day. It feels like a double win because I am moving my body and knocking out my morning tasks at the same time.

Once I sit down at my desk, my mind is usually full of ideas. I keep a journal next to me where I write down every concept or animation idea that comes to me. On days when I hit a creative block, that journal is my go to. It gives me something to pull from and keeps my workflow moving.

Right now my schedule is packed with client work so personal projects have taken a back seat, but in a good way. I am grateful to stay busy and all the unused ideas just stack up in my journal for future concepts.

Health and fitness are a big part of my everyday routine. I go to the gym every other day and on my off days I still do a home workout. Staying active helps me manage stress and keeps my mind sharp. The morning cardio especially sets the tone for the rest of the day and gives me a feeling of accomplishment right from the start.

At night I always make sure to slow down and relax. If you do not intentionally disconnect, your days start blending together and everything becomes work. So I end my day by watching something, reading, or playing games. That reset is important and keeps me grounded.

One thing that makes my routine unique is that health and fitness matter to me just as much as design. Staying active keeps me balanced and helps me bring more energy into my creative work.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a 3D designer who creates satisfying product animations that make people stop scrolling. My work is all about clean visuals, modern lighting, and movement that feels almost tactile. I love adapting my style to fit whatever brand I am working with and finding the most creative way to make a product look its best.

My interest in this world started way earlier than I understood at the time. During my freshman year of high school, I literally walked out of soccer tryouts halfway through because my friends house was right next to the field and all I wanted to do was go play Call of Duty Zombies with him. That was the moment I knew I was meant to be in the videogame world or somewhere creative that felt adjacent. 3D design became the perfect mix of everything I loved. Art, tech, movement, and bringing ideas to life from nothing.

What really sets my work apart is the level of detail I put into everything. I am always looking for a new way to showcase a product, something unexpected that pulls your attention for a second longer. My goal is always the same. Make something that feels satisfying enough to pause you mid scroll.

Right now I am working on a few exciting projects. I just finished an animation for an alkaline water brand and sent it to H1 Sound, an incredible sound designer who brings everything to life with audio. I am starting an animation for a clients new energy shot brand and I am also collaborating with logo designer Mihai Logo on a project I am really excited about.

Outside of design I live a very active lifestyle. Fitness has always been just as important to me as creativity. Staying active keeps me sharp, balanced, and able to show up as my best self for every project.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a kid I never struggled with confidence or creativity. I always trusted my instincts and felt comfortable being myself. What I did believe though was that I did not have a clear direction. I did not understand how someone could build something on their own or turn their interests into a real path. I thought success was something that only happened to people who had everything figured out from day one.

What changed was proving to myself that I could work hard and shape my own path. I realized that direction is something you create through action, not something you wait for.

I no longer believe that you need everything mapped out to succeed. I learned that you can build your own lane if you show up, stay curious, and trust your own work ethic.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering shaped me in ways success never could. I went through financial pressure, housing insecurity, student loans, and even lived out of my car during and after college. I did not have a strong support system to fall back on, so everything I learned came from figuring it out myself.

Those years taught me patience, resilience, and persistence. I learned how to be resourceful and how to stay creative even when life felt heavy. I also learned the importance of staying positive, even when every part of your situation is telling you not to be. Sometimes positivity is not a feeling, it is a choice you make to keep yourself moving.

Most importantly, I learned deep gratitude. When you have nothing, even small wins feel meaningful. Discipline becomes survival, not a choice.

Success does not teach you how to keep going when motivation disappears. Struggle does. It teaches you how to rely on yourself, how to adapt fast, and how to build consistency even when you feel stuck.

Living out of my car was the period that changed me the most. It created a level of determination in me that never faded. It showed me that I can dig myself out of a hole, that I do not break easily, and that giving up is never an option.

Those experiences built the version of me who shows up today. The artist who works hard, stays hungry, stays positive, and never forgets where he started.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say that a few things really matter to me. My health, my goals, my future, my growth, and the discipline it takes to stay consistent. They know how much I care about creativity and pushing myself, but they also know I value having fun and staying positive just as much. I try to live in a way where I am improving myself without losing the joy in the process.

Friends usually come to me for honesty, support, and creative ideas. I am the person they relax with, the calm presence when things feel overwhelming. I try to bring balance to any situation, whether it is offering advice or simply being there.

They also know how committed I am to staying active and how much discipline plays a role in everything I do. Whether it is fitness or creative work, consistency is a huge part of who I am and they see how much I value it.

They know what motivates me too. My family, my creativity, my constant desire to improve, and my belief in doing what is right. I push myself because I want to prove things to myself, not anyone else.

If my friends summed me up in one sentence, it would probably be this. He works tirelessly while still finding a way to enjoy himself, all while creating really cool things.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I am home in the evening after a long and productive day. There is something about having pushed myself physically and mentally that makes the quiet at night feel even better.

Peace for me looks like relaxing with my wife and our cats, watching something on TV together, playing video games, or simply enjoying time with the ones I love most. I recharge solo for the most part, but being with them brings a different kind of comfort that nothing else can match.

3D work can be peaceful depending on the project and the timeline, but most of the time it puts me in a focused and energized state. What does feel peaceful is the learning side of it. Exploring new tools and techniques gives me a sense of calm because it reminds me why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.

Another place I find peace is the gym. Going in the afternoon resets my mind, body, emotions, and creativity. It gives me space to clear out the noise and come back to myself.

At the end of the day, peace for me is simple. It is movement, accomplishment, and then ending the night with the person and felines I love.
