Company Values

A note from our Founder

Nice to meet you, I’m Cam. I love telling stories through motion.

I’ve spent over twelve years designing rides & shows in the themed entertainment industry.

At Universal Creative, I led ride animation for the Ride Design & Show Technology group. I delivered final ride vehicle choreography as well as any custom software needed to translate the animations I created into positional data.

I founded Pretend Simulations in 2024. We love helping clients bring new forms of entertainment to life through motion & custom tooling.

When I’m not animating, I’m usually working on my robotics degree, traveling to new destinations, or chowing down on some Eastern-style BBQ.

I also love mentoring students as they navigate this rapidly-expanding industry. I’ve spoken to student clubs and judged competitions like the Ride Engineering Competition.

If you’re looking to get your story moving, we’d love to help you out.

Cam Kania, founder of Pretend Simulations
