UI / 3D ARTIST
ANDREW MICHAEL CHIN
I've always had a love and passion for the visual arts. My skills in drawing, painting, and art history didn't truly develop until I attended
Florida International University for a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts.

summary
OCT 2011 - JAN 2015
It was during that time that I realized computer animation could combine my love for art and this desire to work in computer graphics. So after graduating from FIU with a BFA, I enrolled at
Full Sail University for a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Animation.
At Full Sail, I learned everything about computer animation, from modeling to rigging, texturing to animating, and much more. It was an honor to graduate as valedictorian and my dream of being a CG Artist became a reality.
Formerly a UI Artist for 2K Games and had the pleasure of shipping 5 titles for the NBA 2K Video Game Franchise. I'm very proud to have worked for such an acclaimed series and hope you enjoy the games as much as I enjoyed developing for them.
Currently a Motion Graphics Artist for EA Sports, working on the longtime Madden NFL Franchise.
My love for art and animation is equaled only by the love I have for my family, my fraternity (Phi Gamma Delta - Fiji),
my alma maters, and my friends.
I currently reside in Florida.
