Profile bio

About Gretchen Freitag

Howdy! My name is Gretchen Freitag and I am a recent Master of Fine Arts graduate from Texas A&M University in the Department of Visualization with an interest in Computer Graphics. I make sushi. I play Dungeons & Dragons. I create gifs of nature. I love stories and culture. I am most interested in Character FX but have a thorough understanding of the animation pipeline and related software. My career goal is to work for a company that invests in the growth of their employees while always looking for new challenges to solve. I wake up every morning excited for what the day has in store for me. I love interacting with creative people, and most importantly, being part of a team. I hold myself to a high standard and I am not afraid of failure. I believe in hard work, humility, self-reliance, and dedication.
