Joe Fender

I am a stop motion generalist and set builder with a passion for fabrication and creating miniature characters and environments. I'm Known for my exceptional attention to detail and resourcefulness, I thrive at bringing intricate, immersive worlds to life. I'm always eager to learn new techniques, and I approach each project with determination, never hesitating to challenge myself. I also love to help people around me, sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration in every project I take on.
In the future I hope to be working as a prop/set builder in the film/animation industry, but I'm open to try other things as long as I get to utilize my creative skills.
