INTERVIEW
FAV ARTISTS & STUDIOS
I love all forms of art so it’s hard to pick a favorite artist or studio. I’ve always been a huge Disney fan so to that I would have to pick Eyvind Earle and Milt Khal. I would’ve loved to meet them! Besides those two masters I would say I’m lucky enough to work with some of the current greats!
ARTIST HISTORY
I always liked to draw and the only path I ever saw for myself was in animation. I drew constantly and was lucky to have parents who supported my journey the whole way through. Thanks mom and dad!
I wanted to be an animator but then realized I was much better at modeling. I interned at Disney after graduating and then landed a role at a prototyping company called Atomic Monkey. We did all those great Funko bobble heads :D. I worked with a small but talented group there and then went over to Nickelodeon as a character modeler. Then over to Dreamworks, Paramount, Warner Bros and now Netflix animation!
THE DREAM
The dream has always been to create and be a part of an animated series or feature. To collab and be a part of the magic :) I would also like to create a film that represents my culture and the history of Armenia.
Amazing Ogi! 🤘eagerly awaiting that day.
