Hi! My name is Kalli Lum and I'm a 3D Character Artist breaking into the animation industry. I'm currently searching for job opportunities and an awesome team of artists to collaborate with!

Biography

I studied Animation at SCAD for my MFA in Animation and Graphic Design at University of Arkansas for my BA. I'm a proud Asian American with half Filipino and half Chinese roots. I was born and raised in Arkansas so sometimes my Southern accent slips out. My love for animation runs deep and I hope to be someone who can add to the animation community and collaborate with other brilliant creatives. In my spare time, I love to cook (mostly Asian food), create art, bullet journal, hangout with friends, and watch animation of course! I would love to network with other creatives, create meaningful friendships, and enter to the professional world of the animation industry.
