WHO WE ARE

Brad Ferguson-Upchuckle Education's founder & president

Brad Ferguson

Presently the sole driving force behind everything we do at Upchuckle, from our private lessons and UCW to Cartoon Camp (and MORE!), Brad brings his passion, dedication and diverse 25+ years of award-winning experience in the animation industry and post-secondary creative education directly to his students.

Starting his career as an animator & character designer, Brad has excelled in a diverse spectrum of additional roles ranging from storyboard artist and working in development to showrunner & director of more than 180 episodes of animated television (with a number of awards & nominations along the way!)

In 2019 Brad took his love of inspiring, training and working with people to the classroom where he was an instructor at an arts & animation college. Shortly afterwards, he became a program coordinator and the director of the 4-year diploma Animation Program.

Today, Brad continues his dedicated focus on providing high-quality arts & entertainment education experiences and mentorship.
