About

Hi there,

I am Michelle. I am passionate about all things design, photography and travel. I have been working in VFX/Animation for the last 10 years. I am industrious, deadline-driven and punctual. I enjoy working with, learning from and teaching others. What I do not know, I will learn. I have found in my experience that anything can be learnt/taught if you put your mind to it.

I am looking to expand my experience, to be challenged and to travel the world. I am striving to be a better creative with every passing day.

The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
