Valeria Yanqui is a senior Motion Design and Animation student attending the University of Connecticut, Stamford. She loved watching animated shows and films since she was young yet never considered it could be her career choice until she entered university. An accident that had occurred during high school had left her bedridden for months. This allowed her to explore more into the world of art. Her passion for 2d animation and motion graphics only deepened the more she learned during her time at UConn.
