Hire Me
Hello, I am Kaitlyn Fuchs, a passionate 3D modeler and sculptor. Throughout my career, I have learned to be adaptable in an industry that is constantly changing. I use this ability to enhance my workflow and learn new skills and programs quickly. My supervisors have mentioned liking the cleanliness of my topology and my ability to match the art, and my production coordinators appreciate the speed with which I am able to meet and exceed the demands of any given project. In addition, I often save my studio time and money by communicating when possible to avoid misunderstandings and delays, and I alert my production coordinators if I think I will complete an asset before a given deadline. In the past I have worked at DreamWorks, Sprite Animations, and ReelFX. I find collaborative work both satisfying and energizing. In teams we are able to create projects of great scope which could never have been completed solidarily, yet the projects themselves are an infusion of every artist's hard work.
