Available to hire
I am a Canadian animator who has been in the animation industry for over 20 years, six of which have been in leadership positions. I have worked on projects such as the feature film My Little Pony The Movie, Netflix’ The Last Kids on Earth, Carmen San Diego, Apple’s Pinecone & Pony, Rick & Morty’s prequel youtube shorts The VIndicators 2 to name a few.
I have been working in the 2D animation side of the industry for the last decade, but I have been trained and have worked in 3D animation on Canadian feature The Leyend of Sarilla.
I am currently looking for an opportunity in 2D or 3D. I am a quick learner; I believe in the animation industry it is a skill that is needed given the different softwares and production platforms that can vary from project to project.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Maite Garcia
