BIO
Logan Schwartz
I am a 23 year old 3D Animation student born in Denver, Colorado, and studying at CU Denver. I spent five years working for Denver Zoo as a teen volunteer, which drove me to pursue my bachelors in Biology and minor in Mathematics. When nearing the end of my degree, I realized that the best conservation efforts are dependent upon telling a story, so I decided to pursue an interest from gaming into a career path in 3D art to instead tell stories that others empathize with. It is my goal to someday use my skills in 3D animation to support animal conservation efforts through educational material creation and digital advocacy.
