My career goal is to become an environment designer for an animation studio.

I went to the 'Pixar: 25 Years of Animation' expo in Amsterdam in 2013. For the first time I discovered that there are a lot of artists with different skill sets that work on animated movie. I was already drawing a lot then, but I never really knew what I wanted to do with my art until that moment. This is how I fell in love with the art of animation.
