I'm Alex Walker, a Computer Animation and Visual Effects graduate with a strong interest in 3D character animation, particularly using Maya. I love creating expressive, believable performances and I'm especially drawn to facial animation and character-driven work. I’m keen to start my career and be part of a studio where I can keep developing both technically and creatively. I'm used to working to a high standard, whether on my own or as part of a team, and I’m always looking to improve and learn new techniques. I’m excited to contribute to challenging projects in a studio environment and continually push my craft forward while growing professionally.
