Meet Daewoo

I learned how to see through an artistic lens. From capturing clear silhouettes to refining purposeful details, they helped me understand that great 3D modeling goes beyond technical skills. Their feedback pushed me to focus on what makes 3D model visually appealing, and in the process, I grew not just as 3D modeler but as a stronger visual storyteller.

Believe in yourself. Remind yourself of the value you bring and the effort, time, and passion you’ve invested in chasing your dream of working at Disney. When you truly recognize this, confidence will come naturally. You’ve got this!

I learned the importance of not staying stuck on the same problem for too long. Reaching out to others and sharing my challenges often opens new creative paths. Moving forward, I want to actively seek fresh perspectives, embrace collaboration, and stay open to experimentation to keep growing as an artist.

Inspiring, Supportive, Magical

I’m incredibly proud to have been part of this program, but what stands out the most is seeing my own growth and potential as an artist. Learning the studio pipeline and culture made me realize I could contribute to something as meaningful as a Disney film, and that is a feeling I will carry with me always.

I love the collaborative culture at Disney Animation. Everyone here is driven by a shared goal to create something magical, and that energy, passion, and emotion are present in every step of the process. It’s what makes me excited to come to work every day.

The Lion King

Everyone I met at the studio had a smile on their face and was genuinely warm and welcoming.

Felix from Wreck-It Ralph comes to mind. He is kind, positive, and always ready to help others without any prejudice. I hope to embody his character and attitude in my own life.

My favorite memory is my first day at Disney Animation Studios—the moment when "one day" finally became day one!
