Recommendation from Vincent Mei
Founder, Bajibot Media, Inc.
I had the pleasure to work on an intense project with Yvonne. Not only she quickly adapted to a 3D package that she wasn't familiar with, but applied her extraordinary character animation skills and gave lives to the characters in our project. Yvonne is a trooper, and a team player, we pulled off a great result within an impossible timeline. I look forward to the next time we collaborate.
