Available to hire
Hi, I’m Quinten Borcherds, a 2023 graduate in Film Arts with a focus on 3D Animation and Game Design from The Open Window Institute. I’m hardworking, trustworthy, and enjoy collaborating in teams, though I also excel when working independently.
I have completed experiential internships in film, multimedia, and 2D animation, developing skills in producing, sound design, and digital marketing animations. I’m passionate about storytelling through animation and game design, and I love learning new tools like Unreal Engine and Houdini.
