When I was in school.

I have always been drawing or crafting something since I was really little, and I realized in elementary school that "Animator" is a type of job I could pursue! With support from friends and family over the years, I decided to take this dream seriously and now I'm here!

I was always very art-focused throughout my life, and originally wanted to study architecture. However, I soon found that my true passion lay in 3D art and animation after my first semester in college.

Drawing and sculpting have been my creative outlet ever since I can remember. And, when I learned 3D modeling in school, I was fascinated by the limitless possibilities I could make. I also love transforming my ideas into 3D-printed designs.

Thanks to years of gaming since my childhood I always knew I wanted to do something in the creative industry. After trying out video editing, graphic design and lastly 3D I was sure this was meant for me!

Ever since I played video games and watched web/animated series on youtube

At 11 years of age when in primary school I was introduced to the magic of stop motion animation, got hooked on stop motion films and made my own animations with a cheap camera and a bag of Lego. Saved enough to get a laptop and delevoped my skills in the 3D animation medium.

I've always done art since I was a child. I started with drawing, then origami, then sewing, and etc. My passion for art was ever-growing , but with immigrant parents, I never thought I could do it as a career. It wasn't until I was in college, struggling with Computer Science due to a lack of interest did I realize just how significant art was in my life. With the discovery of fairly new college programs for Game Design and Animation, I began my journey forward!

During my time at universtiy, the first time that i take my first 3D it remind me my love for videogames , art, film, and animation.

When I first played the original Super Smash Bros.

Since 2009, I originally went to follow my parents dream's as a medical student, and I graduated and did that for a few years and stopped to follow my own dreams as a creative. I am passionate about art and design in all aspects. I thrive on being creative and innovative. I want to prove it to myself that I can make a living in this industry.

I've been captivated by computer graphics and 3D artwork since I was thirteen when I first played a demo disk of Warcraft 3 and saw the opening cinematic

I am really enthusiastic about 3d art. I would love to learn more and develop in character creation and animation.

Since I was 8 years old when I started playing video games.

I first realized that I wanted to work in creative industries during my university study. As time past I've become more driven in learning the skills in 3D modeling and animation.

I realized I wanted to work in the creative industry after a few months of working in the health field. I always loved doing art since I was a kid and felt that it helped me express myself.

I studied animation in college with a focus in 3D. I'm currently working within the 2D animation industry, but now I want to head back to my roots!

Since young I knew art was my way to go, especially in the videogame industry and since I learn the basics of 3D I knew it was my career. Know Im working on refining my 3D art since I have been learning everything I can for the last year in order to work in big proyects.

Back in High School I've always had a an interest in art and drawing and had wanted a career that was filled with seeing and creative art and meeting creative minds.As well as my younger brother loves watching animation and I had a goal of having him loving an animation I made.

Ever since I was a little kid I loved games. Videogames have always been a way to escape from my real-world problems and embrace the fantastic worlds inside the screens in a way that movies or other media never could. I strongly believe that videogames can save lives.

i've always been creative, so it's natural

I think I have always known, but never realized it was and achievable goal until a career fair that I attended about 5 years ago. I met many people working in the industry, and that is when I decided to make a career change and go back to school.
