As Chief Architect and Creative Director of Jumping Frog Entertainment, Cliff brings a worldwide network of talented people together to create one of a kind Immersive Experiences for Broadcast Media, Museums, Events, Theme Parks, and Conventions. We’re able to create eye-popping interactivity…allowing Art, Projection Mapping, Animation, Music, Motion Graphics, Special Effects, Augmented and Virtual Reality to come to life with endless possibilities.
“It’s an interesting phenomena because having creative partners in multiple countries allows us the freedom to explore their artistic design perspectives in ways that make our collaborations more audience driven. Artists are reflections of the culture and societies in which they live and when we start stirring the pot, wonderful ideas begin to percolate. I just try to stay out of their way and let the mojo-mo!”
Our ambition is to produce interactive worlds of art, music, and design in an environment where audiences are immersed in the experience. The intersection of innovation, creativity and technology allows consumers to interact with our tactile and digital experiences on a whole new level of engagement…as if time slows down.
We’re extremely fortunate to have a talented team of creatives that love what they do, each possessing a unique skill set, all with one singular goal…produce content that engages, entertains, educates and inspires families all over the world. With me are some of the best and brightest innovators on the planet!

Michael Montgomery
Founder, Big Dreamer Design
From an early age, I had a passion for art and immersed myself in the world of animation and storytelling. My career began as an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida, where I spent several years honing my skills. When that chapter came to an unexpected end, I was unsure of my next move and felt uncertain about my path forward. However, I found the resilience to carve my own path and launched Big Dreamer Design.
Over the past 20 years through Big Dreamer Design, I’ve embraced many roles—Creative Director, Art Director, Set Designer, Graphic Illustrator, Animator, and Entrepreneur—while working on incredible projects. Along the way, I've crafted lasting relationships with clients and creatives, traveled the world, and collaborated with top innovators in the themed experience industry.
My passion lies in championing small businesses to bring their big ideas to life. I’ve always loved telling stories through design, experimenting with new approaches, and crafting memorable experiences that keep clients coming back. Known for thriving in fast-paced environments, I’m often called upon to step in and lead when projects need rescuing. When I shake your hand, it means I’m committed to delivering results. Clients trust my intuitive approach, and I’m frequently asked to return for new projects. As a lifelong learner, I stay on top of the latest trends and technologies to ensure my work is always fresh, relevant, and impactful.
Currently, I have the privilege of working as a contract Art Director on a variety of projects, constantly overseeing new challenges. While many of my current projects are confidential, I’m grateful to be consistently involved in work that challenges me, inspires growth, and allows me to make an impact. As an animator turned entrepreneur, I’ve learned the art of balancing creativity with business, and I’m excited to see where this next chapter takes me as my company celebrates 21 years.
