Award-Winning Studio

Training That Makes a Difference.

We believe even the most serious subjects can be taught with humor, heart, and a down-to-earth human touch.

Teach big ideas through humor.

We use hand-drawn animation to bring stories to viewers in a very down-to-earth and human way. But what distinguishes us most is our focus on clear and engaging scripts.

Making the world a better place doesn't have to be boring or preachy — and we're here to prove it.

Rachel Brian

Rachel Brian is the founder and principal animator of Blue Seat Studios. She's a former educator who taught biology, physiology, and math at both the high school and college level, with a background in biology and educational psychology.

She started Blue Seat Studios to make complex topics clearer, more human, and easier to engage with. The goal is simple: create training people will actually pay attention to — using humor, strong storytelling, and thoughtful design.

Rachel is also the author of Consent (For Kids!) (Kirkus starred), The Worry (Less) Book, (Be Smart About) Screen Time, and ADHD!, as well as the forthcoming Bounce-Back Book, all published by Hachette / Little, Brown for Young Readers.

Blue Seat Studios works with a team of experienced animators, illustrators, and voice talent to create content that's thoughtful, well-crafted, and built to connect.

Rarely have I seen a video that could so efficiently capture and show the need for participation. I would really like to congratulate the team behind it — it is always great to be in touch with people who share a passion for these issues and a desire to communicate them beyond the usual channels.
