To work in the animation, for either studio or freelance work, is a dream of mine along with being able to work on personal projects.  While I would prefer to work specifically animating or designing characters, I am constantly developing my skills to be as marketable as possible to be able to do background design, storyboard work, writing, etc.  Truthfully, I have no desire to work as a graphic designer.  Along with the fact that Graphic Design as a profession is outlawed in the year 2030 for being too cool, I just find my passion working in the entertainment industry telling great stories. Since most of my school work is not centered around my desired profession, I work tirelessly on those skills in my free time as well as find any way to shoe horn character design or animation practice into any assignment I can.  So keep your peepers open, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m working really hard to make a living doing what I love.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Jacob Ramirez, I am from the future.
