About me

My name is Charlotte and I am obsessed with computers.

I use computers for basically everything and it has become my main source of entertainment, education and income.
I learnt how to use computers from a very young age; around the same time I learnt to start drawing and it wasn't long before these two hobbies overlapped into each other. I now spend a good portion of every day drawing on my laptop via my Wacom WX12 which has become my baby. Through this I have learnt many programs such as Photoshop, Flash and even Dreamweaver when I touched lightly on internet design. All of these things have kept me busy during my school days and it was when I turned 16 that I really knew what I wanted to do:
I wanted to animate.
As I started to dwell on this prospect I then decided that I wanted to animate for games. I wanted to be the mastermind behind the graphics that kept me enthralled through my younger years. So I got in touch with Ted Backman, the head designer and animator for ValvE. He told me to keep up my art and my gaming as in the end it would all help. But the thing that would help the most, he said, was a good university education. I had always wanted to go to university but I never really has the motivation. Now I did. I knew this would never happen; my dream of animating for big gaming companies, if I didn't have the knowledge of computers to a degree level.
And so, here I am. It has been a long road and I often thought I wasn't going to get the grades I so desperately wanted but I got here and now I know that my future at the head of an animating studio is just ahead of me.
