Kyle Stebbins
Producer, Motion Effects and Film | ks at roundus.com
Kyle was born and raised in Lincoln Nebraska, but likes to tell people he was a swashbuckling pirate, parented by the mighty seas. He specializes in film and motion graphics, music composition, and sharpening pencils. The man wears Christmas sweaters at all times of the year, except for June, because that's just silly. He's an Advertising major at UNL, and has made it a personal goal to make a living being creative and weird. He's the youngest of the ROUNDUS team, and therefore makes a point to remind everyone he'll be the last to die.
