Mixing Your Passion with Architecture / Zoe Russian Moreno

Zoe Russian is an experimental architect that is currently focusing on Graphics & Visualizations, visual effects, animations, previs, and post-production. She aspires to improve herself as a designer and continues to learn about the CGI world as much as she can in every way possible. From CG conferences to online classes. She constantly experiments with software, and therefore her style is defined by what she is currently 'ticking' with. However; detail and story-telling with each project is her ultimate goal.

In this episode, we talk about how her venture into the CGI and VFX world started from a very early age, with her parent’s cinematographic influence. You’re going to learn that she actually studied Architecture but found out about this amazing passion for virtual effects and cinema late in her school years. We speak about how architecture is an evolving career, always challenging the norm of the profession and how you can mix your hobbies and passions into the area of design. We talk about her transition from architecture into animation path and how she was able to mix them together. We also talk about how it feels like to be a female in a predominantly male career. And finally we talk about how does storytelling influence architecture. And the steps that must be taken in order to tell a story that captures the viewers.
