Kamal then moved on to work on Sony's Pirates of the burning Sea as a Technical Art Director where he established complex 3D character creation and customization pipelines that are still in use today. Now, Kamal is the proud founder and owner of Digital Double and continues to push art and technology further.

Rob Siegel Training, Education and Development Officer Although Rob worked for 15 years with large multinational firms such as Mobil Oil, NCR and Digital Equipment Corporation, his curriculum work on global understanding for the United Nations, experience in multicultural awareness and appreciation for diversity all underscored research in the area of the social sciences which led to an M.A. in Humanities. Eventually Rob was able to pilot an educational research project in Chile, obtaining approval by the Ministry of Education. Extended research in the US and further studies led to a M.S. degree in Educational Leadership and his Continuing Administrator Licensure from the University of Oregon, USA. Rob continues to take an active role in social transformation through education and so we at Digital Double feel incredibly honored and privileged to have him spearhead our latest educational and development efforts including our Summer Immersion Program in 3D animation.
