Wendy had two earlier careers before her recent transition into web design and 3D animation. She manages her freelance business out of a home office.
She sees a variety of options ahead: staying as a freelancer and working with low- to mid-sized website projects, running larger projects from inside companies on a salaried basis, or moving into the e-learning field.
"I can safely say that the concepts taught in Cañada's 3D animation classes are relevant in industry, since I use them every day."
