Ace founded Creature Bionics in April 2021. It began as a performance and practical effects company, developing creature rigs that allow performers to physically embody the skeletal structure of specific creatures for character performance.

Providing these rigs on productions naturally evolved into supplying performers and production companies, as well as running workshops on how to use them effectively.

The direction of the company shifted when Ace recognised a gap in character development across projects—particularly for the CG characters he was hired to perform. By taking the initiative to support and develop these characters himself, the quality of performance significantly improved.

It became clear that character development is just as critical—if not more so—than practical effects alone.
