A Podcast for Creative People
Who Make the Work Happen

Behind The Pixel is where we bridge the gap between those who buy creative content and those who make it.

Co-founder of Open Pixel Studios

We’ve worked inside studios, for clients, and under deadlines that made us question life choices. We’ve misquoted projects, nailed pitches, and learned hard and expensive lessons.
We started Behind The Pixel to create the kind of conversations we wish we had earlier: honest, funny, occasionally weird, but always useful
