Amelia Dwyer

Hello!

​

I'm Amelia, an aspiring animator from the UK. I am currently studying computer animation at the University of South Wales (or USW for short). I have wanted to work in animation ever since I could remember and I am so lucky that I get to pursue my dream! :)

​

I made this website to help give people more of an insight into my character, personal goals and skills. Hopefully this will help me land a good opportunity to work alongside other like-minded folks.

 

My Career in animation started when I began to attend First Campus' animation summer school. Since then I have been pursuing the art form both acedemically and extracurricularly. 

 

I am confident in using: Maya, Mudbox, Substance Painter, Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop, Gimp and Premiere
