Hi, I'm Jean Cho! I’m a passionate 3D artist and animator with a strong background in creating stylized environments and characters, especially for interactive experiences. I enjoy blending traditional art techniques with the latest digital technologies, including AI-assisted tools, to bring creative ideas to life. My goal is to craft engaging and cohesive visuals that tell a story and captivate audiences. I have experience working remotely and collaborating with diverse teams, developing game design curricula, and teaching complex 3D animation workflows. When I'm not creating art or teaching, I love exploring the intersection of surrealism, horror, and digital craft in my projects.
