ALEX NGUYEN
SHORT SUMMARY
My name is Alex Nguyen. I'm a Senior majoring in Animation and minoring in Art & Design studio.
I've always liked drawing and painting and have been doing so since I was a little child. I've spent hours watching YouTube and have done tons of study online to help me, but taking on a minor is a chance for me to strengthen my skills and improve them further.
As much as I like drawing, I don't want to solely focus on that for all 4 years of college. I want something new but complementary. Animation is a major that is extremely interesting for me. I want to learn the behind-the-scenes of all these stunning movies, animations, and games, the steps being taken, the pipeline, and how I can take part in creating something great. I'm passionate about animating because there's just something so fascinating about bringing characters to life and turning my imagination into a reality.
My hobbies are photography and crochet. You can reach me at nguye566@purdue.edu
