1. How many years of experience do I have in 3D Design? 23 years, I started working in Autodesk Maya in the year 2000 2. About my experience working with Clients, following briefs, solving problems, etc I have been the animation director in a couple of Tv/film Agencies such as Digital Films & Video and AYM, were I had the chance to lead small teams of artists, teaching and helping them on problem and technical issue solving in regards of 3d assets and animation. Dealing directly with clients, explaning briefs, helping improving the workflow and pipelines, working under pressure and tight deadlines and all of this helped me greatly to improve my interpersonal skills maintaining a positive attitude. I have not been the Lead artist on all the Studios I have worked on, but I mostly have colaborated as a Senior artist for the last 10 years for local and some international Companies such as Promoshin, which is a video creator company for a diverse range of industries. I have also done 3d animation and overal 3d Teaching in two Universities, Universidad de Nayarit and Universidad Vizcaya de las Americas since 2006 and also in one specialized Digital Art School in Mexico City called Escena, which has a great reputation in the local digital art community. 3. Do I have an advanced English level?
