👋👋👋 Say hello to Kyle Switzer! Our newest design and animation intern 👋👋👋 In Kyle’s own words… “I'm a multidisciplinary 2D/3D animator interested in the intersection between brands and storytelling. Everything I do starts with design and ends in detail. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Motion Media from SCAD, preceded by two years of experience as a journalist. I enjoy new beginnings, appreciate new faces. Away from the computer, I nourish a semi-professional ultimate frisbee career and an anemic writing habit. Always open to chat.” See more of Kyle’s awesome work here: https://kyleswitzer.tv/

Here to welcome the newest addition to the Scholar crew, animator and designer Jee Kim! 👋 Born and raised in Seoul and now calling NYC her home, Jee has a deep conviction in life to tell compelling visual stories. During her Master's program at School of Visual Arts, she expanded her creative process as a visual storyteller through #2D animation, stop motion and riso animation. Channeling into her deepest sad-girl energy, she wrote and directed an animated drama about a complicated father-son relationship called, "GrownUp." When she's not designing/animating, she loves being outdoors, whether it's hiking, snowboarding or simply running. She bikes around the city all the time almost exclusively to her carefully curated playlist "Melancholic Cotten Candy," pretending she's in a music video. For therapeutic purposes, she regularly visits Trader Joe's for their dry-roasted almonds and honey crisp apples. Pop over to Instagram @helloscholar to get to know Jee in her welcome Q/A. 🔥 #NewHire #Animator #Illustrator

When creating a world where old world banking meets new world currency for WisdomTree’s “Prime Launch” each design frame and animation test took us a step closer to capturing the essence of ingenuity. See how this world was constructed in our latest Behance Breakdown: https://lnkd.in/gHpxvPPN

Within the motion of the piece, we set out to capture the effortlessness of the WisdomTree Prime App. Reimagining and distilling complex financial tenets into striking, abstract visuals. Letting the momentum of each shot carry us to the next with ease. #motiondesign #animation #design #cripto #gold
