Creativity has shaped my entire life.
I’m Daniel Abramovici, founder of Form & Wonder. For more than two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of animation, visual storytelling, technology, and education as an artist, creative supervisor, producer, showrunner, and teacher.
I spent more than a decade at Blue Sky Studios, contributing to films including the Ice Age franchise, Rio, The Peanuts Movie, and Spies in Disguise. I later held senior creative and production roles at Moonbug Entertainment and Nickelodeon Animation, including serving as Co-Executive Producer, Showrunner, and CG Supervisor on The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish.
Across all of those roles, I kept returning to the same essential skills: looking closely, asking better questions, exploring possibilities, solving problems, and developing the confidence to trust an idea.
Those skills are at the heart of Form & Wonder.
Why I Created Form & Wonder
Children are growing up in a world designed for speed.
Creativity requires time. It means looking long enough to notice something new, sitting with uncertainty, trying an idea that may not work, and discovering an answer rather than simply being given one.
I created Form & Wonder to give children a place to practice exactly that.
In a world of instant answers, I want to protect the value of discovery.
Experience Behind the Program
A career built around turning ideas into something real.
My career has included leading large creative teams, developing new production approaches and technologies, and helping artists carry ambitious ideas from their earliest stages to finished work.
I also spent four years teaching at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and have shared my work at industry gatherings including SIGGRAPH, FMX, and Annecy.
The settings have varied from studios and classrooms to emerging technology but the most important lessons have remained the same: how to observe, question, collaborate, solve problems, and keep going when the answer isn’t obvious.
A Creative Practice of My Own
Painting keeps me connected to the same process I ask children to explore: observing closely, experimenting, following unexpected ideas, and remaining open to discovery.
