“Seeing the growth BigStar has experienced in the last few years feels explosive, but is really the result of years of hard work from our artists and producers, meaningful client relationships and the leadership of our founder Josh Norton,” said Hood, who also serves as executive producer at the studio, in a statement.

“During our almost two decades in business, BigStar has remained committed to our brand pillars of art, communication and culture— but we've benefited from having a founder that has evolved along with the industry, facilitating creative growth while staying committed to our design principles.”
