Hi, I’m Joshua Ridgway, a 3D animator. I’ve animated on two kid-friendly shows and enjoy bringing characters to life through layout, blocking and polish in Maya and Blender. I love collaborating with talented teammates to craft engaging visuals and storytelling. I consistently hone my skills in Maya, Blender, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine, with a focus on character animation. I’m excited to join a studio team where I can grow my skills, and contribute to exciting projects.
