About
Hi, I’m Ignatius “Tochi” Tochukwu Nwankwo, a Baltimore-based 2D animator and storyteller. I’m finishing my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Morgan State University with a focus on Playwriting, Screenwriting, and Computer Animation, and I love turning ideas into vivid moving images. I’m passionate about collaboration, storytelling, and bringing imagination to life through thoughtful character work and dynamic animation.
I’ve contributed to programs that expand access to AI and animation, including the Target Scholars Program and the Center for Equitable AI and ML Systems, where I helped develop tools that combine creativity with technical thinking for underrepresented communities. I’m eager to apply my blend of writing, research, and 2D animation skills to a team that values curiosity, inclusivity, and storytelling excellence.
