UH Animation Club: University of Houston
At the beginning of the Spring 2023 semester, my peers and I founded the Animation Club at the University of Houston.
The Animation Club seeks to encourage students to learn about animation and inspire them to create in the fields of 2D Animation, 3D Animation, and Motion Design. I am very proud to be a Co-Founder and a Mentor in 2D Animation!
We are currently arranging animation challenges, weekly inspiration postings, studio showcases, professional speaker events, and workshops to help inspire other UH students about the world of animation in the interest fields of 2D Animation, 3D Animation, and Motion Design.
