Vera Vien
Environment Designer & 2D Artist — Preproduction · Montréal, QC
2D artist specialized in preproduction. I am looking for a studio where I can grow my career in animation and take on more responsibility, with the long-term goal of a production coordinator role. I thrive on teamwork and new challenges, and equally enjoy recharging through focused solo work.
