We Make Complex Systems Visible
Leimert Animation Studio (LAS) is a visual systems consultancy that builds Decision-Theoretic Visual Systems Models to reveal the structure, incentives, and dynamics of complex economic and social systems.
By combining economic modeling, systems thinking, and animation, LAS enables institutions to see how their systems function, identify leverage points, and make clearer, more effective decisions.
Visual Systems Strategy for Institutions
Conceptually rigorous. Structurally precise. Built for decision-making.

How Leimert Animation Studio (LAS) Works:🔷
Most organizations operate within systems they cannot fully see.
LAS makes those systems visible.🔷
1. Model the System
We map the structure of your environment—identifying key actors, relationships, and constraints.
2. Reveal the Dynamics
We visualize how value, attention, and activity move through the system—highlighting patterns, bottlenecks, and opportunities.
3. Clarify Decisions
We identify leverage points and decision pathways—so you can act with clarity and confidence.
I.e., System Structure → Incentive Logic → Strategic Decisions
Animation is not our product.
Clarity is.
Animation = delivery mechanism
Model = core product i.e., Decision
Clarity = value

Complex Systems Are Difficult to Explain
LAS uses systems thinking to model how complex ecosystems function, and decision theory to determine how to act within them.

“Economic models often struggle to represent lived spatial interaction.”
What if institutional interaction could be visualized dynamically rather than described statically?
Can movement patterns reveal hidden economic structure?
Organizations often struggle to communicate how their systems actually function. Reports and presentations rarely show:
-
feedback loops
-
incentive structures
-
decision impacts
-
system relationships
This makes it difficult for stakeholders to share a clear understanding.
The Leimert Park Cultural Economic Model
Explanation
Leimert Park Village serves as a living case study demonstrating how cultural districts function as economic systems.
The model maps relationships between:
-
businesses
-
vendors
-
community organizations
-
events
-
public space
And now for some
Public-facing systems storytelling
Story can make invisible structures emotionally visible.
If you are working with a complex system that needs clearer explanation, Leimert Animation Studio can help develop a visual model that reveals how it works.
Traditional decision theory lives in equations. LAS translates decision theory into visual systems people can actually understand.

Not all systems are best understood through reports and diagrams. Some are better understood through story, satire, and allegory.

A Visual Approach to Systems Understanding
Leimert Animation Studio combines:
-
systems analysis
-
visual modeling
-
animation
to create animated explanations that reveal how complex systems operate.

A system becomes less manipulable when incentives are visible, flows are visible, constraints are visible, tradeoffs are visible, agent interactions are visible.
