Hi there! I'm Yenly Montana, a 3D animator and character designer based in Toronto, Canada. I love bringing expressive and memorable characters to life through strong posing, timing, and visual storytelling. I'm pursuing a Diploma in 3D Animation at Centennial College to sharpen my craft, collaborate with teams, and contribute to engaging projects. Currently interning at Lakeside Animation in collaboration with JellyBean Studios, I develop 3D animations across different characters and rigs, while keeping the production pipeline organized and efficient. I also participated in a multidisciplinary Game Collaboration Project with students from the University of Toronto, which gave me hands-on experience in rigging, animation, and asset integration into Unity.
