After working as an animator on other animated projects, he worked on his first blockbuster Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as an animator. He has worked on major animated films such as Hotel Transylvania and The Angry Birds Movie. He also worked on MCU blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He worked with visual effects on the film Dolittle from 2020.
From 2017 to 2018, Hiestand directed 50 episodes of the animated series Dennis & Gnasher: Unleashed!. In 2020, he also contributed to the animation in the computer game Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
Hiestand also works as a voice actor for various animated series, movies, and computer games. He provided the voice of Sigma in Overwatch,[2][3] Marl in Anthem[4], Kwolok in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Rued, Fenrir, and Gorm in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, among others.[5]
