Dylan Smith’s Summary

I am currently in my first year of actual industry experience. I did several industry internships through school but none of them required me to actually go into a studio and work for more then 2 weeks. During my undergrad and post-bachelorette years I was a part of several award winning and/or note worthy projects; one of which led me to my current job.
My main goal is to become a professional animator. I believe I am on my way to reaching this goal so beyond that I would like to find a some what stable job with decent pay and benefits.
