Andi's Profile

Andriana Laskari: Rochester, United Kingdom; I am an enthusiastic, sociable person with a great desire to work on anything creative and technical involving the field of animation and CG. I have a particular interest in character design, animating, storytelling and the process of discovering the art direction for my work. Although I specialize in the field of animation, I am keen to use my skills for any type of creative project. I can be autonomous in my work, but also enjoy being part of a team.
