Gunjan Joshi

Motion Designer

Kirkland, WA, USA
My freelance experience has taught me to work tight deadlines, handle clients and think on my feet. I am interested in Pre-Production, Animation, Character Design, creating content & learning on the job.

Aside from animating, I like to travel (all over India and bits of Europe), and sketch said travels
in the form of comics. I also like to read comics, and other non-comicky books. I also dabble in
video games, watch short films and write stories in my off hours.
