Animator/Artist on the hunt

Parisa Bahri
P------------------------8

After being accepted to study English and Arabic at some reputable Universities, I chose instead to take time away from formal education and consider more thoroughly my aspirations in life and how I would achieve them. Shortly thereafter I moved to the U.S to work as part of a childcare agency under a contract that expired in November 2015. In this time, I performed extensive research around the industry of Computer Animation; a vocation I was interested in from an early age for which I have just completed my studies at Bournemouth University.
