Career Skudder started his career as an animator at the animation studio, 6 Point Harness. While he was working on different projects, he was co-developing a web series for Mondo Media with Zack Keller called Dick Figures. When the first episode was released on YouTube, it was a massive success and it eventually became the most viewed web series on YouTube. Skudder and Keller then started to make 49 more episodes. Skudder also voiced Red, Raccoon, and Mr. Dingleberry in Dick Figures.

After that, Skudder worked as a creative director in animation at GoldieBlox.
