Ty Curtis, a dynamic entrepreneur and founder of Activate Studios, has been pushing the boundaries of immersive engagement since 2013. With an instinct for what’s next and a bold approach to taking risks that pay off, he’s collaborated with global brands like BMW, Free Fire, Suzuki, Lendlease, and Jimmy Choo to create unforgettable experiences. Under his leadership, Activate Studios crafts gamified adventures and interactive moments that pull people in and leave them grinning.

Previously, Ty served as Business Manager for Fin Design + Effects’ Shanghai studio, working with a world-class team on projects using Unreal Engine, real-time rendering, and large-scale volumetric LED stages. As Global CTO at Imperfect Circle, he led the company’s early XR explorations, driving innovative immersive storytelling across APAC and setting the stage for groundbreaking work in the space.

But really, this is just a fancy way to say he builds cool stuff that makes people feel something. His goal is always the same; make it fun, make it memorable, and make it matter.
