Hi! My name is Teresa Nguyen, I'm an American-Vietnamese who grew up in a small town in Western Michigan. I moved to Atlanta GA to kick start my future by going to Savannah College of Art and Design to study animation, more specifically, 3D technical animation.
I fell in love with animation at a young age, and watching the magic that it brought to people made me realize that it was my calling to help bring that magic alive. I started playing around with animation in high school, and that was when I won my first two film festivals with my animated PSA shorts, Follow Your Path and Sprout.
​
Other than animation, I share a love for photography, sightseeing, and food (especially Ramen). And I'm always aiming for new opportunities to learn new things.
My passion lies in lighting for environments, shading/texturing, and 3D modeling. I do have experience with character animating as well. I have helped create 3D animated student films for the last three years. Though I have past experience working on 3D animated films I would love to work for games as well.
