Biography

Hello tribe, I'm Sara! :) I've been passionate about creating characters and bringing them to life since I watched my first animated movie! :) My dream is to be able to produce my own short animations, series and games. I've been dedicating the first two years of my career to learn and experiment different areas inside the multimedia field, to get a bigger perspective on how everything works. During the first year I focused on game development and digital drawing and painting. I join several events and game jams, launched a beta version of an original game that I developed with a very awesome team and got lot's of fun with it ehehe! ;) I also started to develop some original characters in the digital format. For my second year, I focused on management (teams, tasks, milestones) and creating/founding iniciatives that I trully believe in! "Girls in Tech" and "Game Dev Lisbon" are projects very close to my heart, which aim to promote some precious values. During this year I organized a few workshops and seminars, my very first experiences! ;) In my third and current year, I keep chasing my dreams, by improving my technical skills and learning with the best of the best in the film and cinematic industry! :) Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my profile! <3 Sara Batista, [email protected]
