JOSH YOUNG

3D Animator

Hi, I’m Josh and I’m a young designer from Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve graduated from Massey University in Wellington, NZ with a Digital Media Design Degree (Hons).

I’ve been in a wide variety of roles in the time I’ve been in this industry, learning concept art, environment design, lighting, rigging, animation, storyboarding and editing.

I originally entered this industry to do animation, which is what I am focusing on to further my skills in this area. In order to offer a complete set of skills I would like to show off various styles and applications such as in VFX film and games, both of which I have a great passion for.

Being a digital artist has given me an outlet for my creative thoughts expressed using technology to deliver to my clients. This is a huge passion of mine to continually learn and grow the quality and standard of my digital skills.
