Objective

Creating the motions, gestures, and expressions of three-dimensional
computer graphics characters and objects.

I’m looking to work in an environment where people are creating ideas
and stories that they are passionate about. Somewhere that I’m going to be
pushed and challenged, where I can learn from other animators, and keep
striving to become a great animator myself.
