Hi I'm Charlene Jacomino!
about me
Born and raised in Miami FL, this Cuban American girl did not know how ready she was to dive head first into the animation and gaming industry. After years of learning that my English Education Degree from Miami Dade college and jobs at Tacobell and Gamestop were not challenging me enough, I dropped everything and came to Orlando FL in the hopes of getting into UCF.
​
Originally, I wanted to pursue Traditional Fine Arts but quickly learned I wanted more! After a grueling two years of hitting the books and learning all kinds of software programs and skills, I made it into their Character Animation program! Out of 120 applicants, I was one of 30 students to make it in and I am glad I did! Working together with others to make meaningful projects and helping give others a voice through storytelling and art is my deepest passion. I found where I was meant to be.
Although I am nowhere near where I want to be, I am excited to keep learning and expanding my knowledge in 3D modeling, Texturing, Animating, and breathing life into characters and their environments.
