Mia Young

Hired to be a part of the creative direction of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference bid; communicating to all participants, as well as globally, the continuous advancement in the handling of Climate change as well as incorporating and amplifying the important messages of the campaign in order to take the movement further. I worked mainly in with Creative Team, focusing on the design language of the event which embodied the pre-established artistic treatment of the branding and utilizing elements derived from Scottish heritage to create parts of the attendees' journey- bringing to light the progress of the Eco-friendly city of Glasgow as to further inspire commitment to change. Also contributing to other campaigns during this time period.

I was hired as an animation model maker and sculptor in a highly professional studio working on a project for Aardman Studios (Bristol), as well as with a group of other artists. Allowing me to utilize important qualities of this highly intense industry; producing work at speed without losing my professional standards including precision and attention to detail, problem-solving in a team both creatively and through research, as well as adapting to the demands of the individual project, working to client specifications and making sure the characters didn't stray from their designs or measurements. I also learnt a great deal more about Animation- making models and armatures that were designed for specific movements and to the requirements of an animator, whilst remaining within a budget. Along with progressing in a professional environment, my model making skills have excelled and in relation to this, my standards have risen greatly - making the most of a space equipped with the materials and means to achieve them. This has also allowed me to work closely with senior model makers, receiving advice and constant feedback on my progress - to which I am very grateful!
