Lex Johnson is an animator, director and founder of design and animation company Dazzle Ship. His career has grown from a passion to create and innovate.
At 18 he created his first animated TV series for European music channel 'Channel U’. He went on to work in computer game animation, he’s created short films and music videos that have been shown at international festivals and he likes to teach – lecturing at renowned Swedish motion design school Hyper Island as well as several London universities.
In 2017 he took a step back and worked remotely around the world for a year. His company Dazzle Ship has gone from strength to strength developing a strong identity and client base, working with charities, brands and events – always connecting motion graphics with a brand story.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
