About Us

Meet the Anarchists.

Meet the folks currently on our full-time staff.

Jim Tierney,
President
Chief Executive Anarchist

Our founder, Jim Tierney, is a pioneer in the development of visual tools for motion design and compositing. During the 1990's, Jim worked for MetaTools, Atomic Power and Cycore. He helped create products like Bryce, Evolution and Studio Effects. After working on After Effects plugins for almost a decade, Jim thought it was finally time to get out there and do some of his own. So he did, and Digital Anarchy was born.

Molotov Cupcake,
Corporate Chair-Warmer

Our new office kitten is a spitfire. Molotov Cupcake fearlessly hunts the printer whenever it makes a noise. She instigates work breaks by jumping on your shoulder. And she adds to productivity by warming our seats while we are at lunch.

The Alien,
Company Mascot

Our mascot is six feet tall and tons of fun. The Alien is a replica prop made out of resin. She's not completely true to the original, but close enough to fool us when we're around the office at night.
