“I’m super excited to join a company that shares so many of my own beliefs. I’m bringing the best of my experiences from other studios to help create something unique at DNEG Animation – a studio where talent can be nurtured and supported, where there is a genuine culture of mentorship and continuing education, and where human and artistic goals are taken into consideration with no compromise on the quality of the work. That, to me, is really exciting!”
