From Student to Pro: Mentorship That Gets You Hired in Animation

Mentorship for Animators

Our Services

  • Portfolio Project Mentorship

    For artists ready to level up their technical skills and build a standout portfolio piece.

    This 1-on-1 mentorship is designed for CG students and emerging artists who want to focus on execution, discipline, and technical growth. Together, we’ll bring a project from concept to completion — tailored to the skillset you want to refine (modeling, texturing, or lighting).

    You’ll walk away with:

    A fully rendered, demo-reel–ready piece

    Sharpened technical abilities and creative decision-making

    A custom workflow pipeline built around your strengths and industry standards

    Accountability and expert feedback at every stage of the process

    Ideal for:
    Artists looking to build a strong portfolio piece that closes the gap between student-level work and hireable-level quality.

  • Launch your Animation Career

    For artists who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to break into the industry.

    This is your reset button. In this 4-week mentorship, we’ll audit your personal brand and professional materials (demo reel, resume, website, LinkedIn), strengthen your networking strategy, and work on mindset blocks holding you back.

    You’ll gain:

    Clarity on your brand and strengths as an artist

    A polished, industry-ready online presence

    Confidence in networking, outreach, and pitching yourself for roles

    Support in managing burnout, anxiety, and rejection in the job search

    Ideal for:
    Students, recent grads, or self-taught artists who are ready to feel confident, prepared, and visible in the job market.
