Hi! I'm Sam Durkin, and I am an animator. I graduated from Ringling College in 2021 with a BFA in Computer Animation, and I have a love for storytelling through character animation and CG work.
I am currently based in LA, and have most recently worked for Dreamworks Feature in cycles (cycles and midground, some hero work), and as an animator at Icon Creative. Most recently I have been doing freelance animation for NEKO Studios on a VR game.
