Hi, my name is Anya Otiende and I'm a rising senior at James Hubert Blake High School with a deep interest in digital arts and interactive. I'm currently producing a podcast that highlights diverse paths for young artists and expanding my skills in 3D modeling and animation. My background includes AP Computer Science Principles and AP 2D Art, which I have applied to real-world projects like designing promotional materials for local nonprofits. Furthermore, I run a podcast that aims to create more transparency in how to reach success as an artist. My goal is to study interactive media design and push the boundaries of how we experience the world and connect with others.
