About Us
Your team of dedicated experts who specialize in 3D animation and simulations.
Who We Are
Established in 2022, the company was founded by Halleck Cui and led a team of 3D animators and software engineers to provide custom 3D simulations and animations for marketing, product design, and medical training in San Diego for biotech companies. As a team, we make useful visuals that help your content stand out, and depict your science, medicine, and practice in engaging ways.
Why the symbol of a black horse? Because legend says the white horse is the expected one to win, as they talk up crowds. But the black horse grinds and grows without anyone witnessing until results finally show, after real battles are conquered. The black horse is the unexpected one who ends up on top. To our clients and partners, you also carry the symbol of the black horse, as you have struggled and fought to where you are now. And with more to create, Black Horse Animation & Design is right there with you.
