Hi! My name is Yuan (Yorick) Cao. I'm a 4th Year student at the California Institute of the Arts. Before Calarts, I spent one year at Ringling College of Art and Design. My interests in animation include storyboarding, character design, screenwriting, and directing. I have two years of working experience as a set designer for the 2D animated feature film named The Legend of Hei by HMCH Anime studio, which is based in Beijing, China. Besides animation, I worked as a tutor for the art portfolio for college application. In the summer of 2021, I opened my own portfolio development class via the online education platform.
