About
My name is Christina and I’m an Austin-based 3d animator. As a lifelong cartoon fanatic, I’ve been dedicated to my work as an animator for many years. Nothing is more fulfilling to me than working with a team of like-minded creatives to produce something wonderful for the world to enjoy.
During my years working in games I’ve made animations that required incredible precision and attention to detail while being sure they test correctly in engine. I’ve also been responsible for layout and camera animation for cinematics and cut scenes. While working as a senior animator in television I created everything from action-packed, dynamic fight scenes to subtle and emotional performance shots. I had the opportunity to work closely with my leads on show development as well as mentoring the less experienced animators on the team. Working in such a fast-paced environment has really given me the skills to produce animations on a timely schedule without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. I have a background in fine art that helps me to create interesting poses that translate beautifully to CG animation.
My experience working on so many different projects with such varying styles has really pushed my skills and creativity, and now I’m eager for new opportunities. I have so much to offer your studio and sincerely hope you enjoy my reel!
