Hello! My name is Amy Le.

I am a Canadian who works in the animation industry
as a Lead 3D Lighting and Compositing Artist.

I have a diploma in 2D Commercial Animation and a certificate in 3D Animation from Capilano University. Though I work in 3D, I continue to pursue my passion for 2D drawings and illustrations in my spare time.
