Hi, I'm Sani! I made a ninja backflip from an Engineering degree to follow my passion for the intersection of art and technology. I hold an MFA in Computer Arts from SVA in NYC, where I created an award-winning 2D & 3D motion graphics film exploring the transformative power of music.
I love staying connected and involved in creative communities. Volunteering at events like SIGGRAPH and Real-Time Summit keeps me updated with the latest innovations. I'm also a proud member of Women in Animation (WIA) and Asians in Animation (AIA), where I actively support inclusivity and diversity initiatives. As someone born and raised in Central Asia, I find joy in challenging societal norms, traditional expectations, and gender stereotypes. What truly motivates me about animation is its unique power to evoke empathy, establish connections with viewers, and surpass cultural and linguistic obstacles.
Off-hours, I go to Broadway Dance Center and enjoy Contemporary Jazz Dancing classes!
