Hi, I’m Jutaro Kurihara, a soon-to-be graduate in Computer Graphics Technology (Animation & Visual Effects) from Purdue IUPUI. I design modular assets, create environment and character concepts, and bring ideas to life through 3D, texturing, and storyboarding. I thrive in collaborative teams and enjoy turning rough ideas into polished visuals through iterative feedback and solid asset organization. I’m passionate about collaborative workflows, learning new tools, and delivering production-ready visuals for immersive experiences. In my spare time I volunteer with exchange programs and enjoy teaching and sharing design techniques, bringing a strong work ethic and curiosity to every project.
