Dayoung Kim

I’m a 3D animator and layout artist specializing in character performance, cinematic staging, and visual storytelling. I earned my BFA in Animation in South Korea and spent seven years working in the advertising industry, creating motion design and animation for major brands. With extensive experience using tools such as Maya, Cinema 4D, and After Effects, I built a strong foundation in timing, posing, and camera-driven storytelling. I’m currently studying 3D animation at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I’m focusing on deepening my skills in character acting, previs,and narrative-driven animation.
