I’m a 2D and 3D animator, 3D generalist, and visual development artist.

I started working as a freelance designer and 2D animator in 2019 and completed a Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation and a Bachelor of Design in Animation at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. Since then, I’ve gained five years of industry experience working in animation and CG production for broadcast media and film.

I enjoy collaborating with people to create engaging narratives, while experimenting with mixed-media techniques throughout the ideation, research, development, and creation of my animations and designs.

Hi, I’m Caitlin Cao,
