Seriously Nutty. In a Good Way.
To make Nutshells, we've put together a team of fiercely creative people who balance nuttiness with a serious approach to explanation and animation. Josh and Trevor run the show.
Joshua Gunn
Josh founded Planet Nutshell in 2007, with a background in motion graphics, writing, and storytelling.
As a former editor and merchandiser at Amazon.com, Josh worked to explain thousands of products to customers using methods that engaged, informed, and entertained them along the way. Planet Nutshell lets Josh keep exploring new ways to help people "funderstand" a complicated world.
Josh holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Washington in Seattle and he received his BA in English from The Colorado College.
