Hello, my name is Kira Smith.  I am a technical animation artist in my senior year of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communications  (ATEC) degree at UT Dallas.  I spent my high school years creating games and learning code; and that passion has ultimately lead me to rigging. I believe that the key to a compelling story are characters that feel real, not just in the way that they are written, but in the way that they move.  My goal is to create expressive rigs and animations that are both easy to work with and allow animators full control over the character. I look forward to contributing what I've learned and more to the industry!
