I am a 3D animator with 11 years of experience in the animation industry looking for remote work, willing to take junior/mid level positions
SpainWhat I'm looking for
Hello, I am an animator who grew up in Canada and have formed an 11 year career in computer animation, and I have just moved to Spain as a digital nomad. I am looking for remote roles for any companies based outside of Spain.
Over the course of 11 years, I have had the pleasure of working for 5 different animation studios on various projects that have gone to Netflix, Disney +, Youtube and more. Some shows include Muppet Babies, Barbie, Luna Petunia, Mecha Builders, Alien TV and more.
I’m seeking an animator position in a studio where I can contribute to strong pieces of work and create lasting relationships in the animation industry. I am open to junior or mid-level roles
