Hello there, my name is Mackenzie Keslin.  I’m currently a technical artist and Niantic.  I remember when I was a small child watching animated features, my eyes would light up and grow wide; to me animation was magic, I had no idea how they did it, in some cases I thought they had actually filmed it live.  As I got slightly older I grew more and more interested in animation.  I taught myself some of the aspects of creating those films and a bit of the magic was lost.  Yet as I discovered the technical problems and limitations of animation I found a new form of magic.  This was the magic of creating amazing works of art while circumnavigating the limitations of the medium.  Everyday I am facing new challenges of the medium and uncovering an even deeper love for animation.

I love problem solving, working in a team, and learning. I believe that one of the best ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else, so their problems also help me grow my own skills.
