About

Hello! I’m Sarah Kenny, a multidisciplinary scientist, animator, and software developer based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I specialize in crafting streamlined 3D visualization workflows and interactive tools that help teams translate complex data into clear, compelling visuals.

I enjoy collaborating with both technical and non-technical colleagues, bridging research with production, and continually learning—whether training AI models, building cloud pipelines, or creating dynamic 3D animations in Blender.
