Welcome to my personal site. My name is Kasandra Rutkowski, I am a Designer, Animator and Artist. This site mostly contains my artwork, both traditional and digital. There is also some animations. You can see more animation over at Kekassymai.com, and if your interested in my design work it is over at kasandrarutkowski.com. Now to tell you little about myself, or you can skip straight to the gallery.

Born in Montreal, I graduated from John Abbott College's Publication Design and Hypermedia Technology, a three year professional program in 2006. and from their Fine Art Program in 2003. I worked at a company called Unilight and then in the Dollarama art department until I when back to school in 2010.

In 2013 I graduated from Dawson college's 3d Animation and computer generated imagery program. As animation, I and can produce 3d models and basic rigs. I know Maya, 3ds Max, Motion Builder and Mudbox. I can rig and animate in both Maya and 3ds Max, and have worked with Mocap in Motion Builder. I am currently learning blender, albeit a bit slower then i like with everything else that is going on.

I am also proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, In-design, Dreamweaver, Flash, Gimp and Inkscape. I have also been trained to hand code HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript. My training with traditional mediums include charcoal, pencil, oil, acrylic, watercolor, and several methods of printing, including silkscreen and lithography.

I can often be found playing video games or with my nose in a book. Either sketching or reading. I read a wide variety of books. Books about animation, art, and various software manuals. Also books about video games, and most importantly zombies. It is very important to be prepared.
