Objective
I graduated from QANTM College in March 2009 with a Bachelor in Interactive
Entertainment, majoring in animation in March 2009, I have strong interests in concept
designing and 3D animating for computer games and film. I also have some skill at 3D
modeling and 3D rigging.

I have strong interests in character modeling, like those of Pixar's 'The Incredibles', and
both 2D and 3D animation especially for games.

I am looking forward to work in a Computer Games company as a Concept Artist and/or

3D Animator.
