Who We Are

About Fancy Pants Studios

Creativity is our jam. Nerdiness is our fuel. Making stuff is our mission.

Fancy Pants Studios is a small but mighty creative studio built on a love of writing, art, and making cool stuff just because it’s fun. Because fun is a function. We’re a little quirky, a little crafty, and definitely the kind of people who geek out over fonts, fictional worlds, and perfectly labeled resin bottles.

The studio was founded by Harvey Moreno—a writer, illustrator, and self-proclaimed “former microbiologist turned story wizard.” From concept to color palette, Harvey brings a mix of science, humor, and heart to every project.

He writes, draws, designs, and 3D models from his base in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, where he’s lived for the past 20 years (after growing up in Southern California). The main spark behind his work? Trying to make his kids laugh.

Why “Fancy Pants”?

The name came from Harvey’s kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Ahern, who used to say, “Well look at you, Mr. Fancy Pants,” whenever he showed her a drawing he was proud of. The phrase stuck—and it became a reminder to always create boldly, unapologetically, and with a little flair.

What We Believe

We’re not just here to make things—we’re here to help others make things, too. Whether you’re a writer, dancer, game designer, welder, or sheep herder: GO FRICKEN DO IT. The world needs your weird.

Our values:

• Integrity – No shady stuff. No gatekeeping. No ego.
• Service – Creativity is better when it’s shared. We want to help people grow.
• Excellence – We care deeply about the work and the details.
• Transparency – No smoke and mirrors, just snacks and resin.

What We Love

• Sharp pencils
• Good snacks
• Well-labeled resin bottles

What’s on the Horizon?

We’ve got some big, weird ideas in the works (👀 Boogie Bots), and we’re always looking for fun projects, cool collabs, or folks who just want to geek out about storytelling or 3D design.

Let’s make something awesome together.
