    Jano Olmos

    I have been working in animation for the past 11 years, in different companies, countries, with different teams, people, and languages. These last 8 years, I won't lie, have not been easy, but they have been a wonderful collection of adventures. Today, I am more aware of how difficult a career in animation can be, but I feel like this is still just the beginning.
