Kora Kosicka’s Summary
My background is largely art and design for media directed towards children, and includes a Media Arts degree from the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design. Recently, I worked with CGTV Games - a company which produces software for online gaming - to produce several interactive interface designs and develop characters for online games.
I'm familiar working with various software to create designs and animation, and am always interested in picking up new skills and working with different people to complete projects. In addition, I have experience working on my own and under the direction of art directors to create an aesthetic direction.
