WE ARE ALL ABLED
Hello, and welcome to my portfolio. My name is Benjamin Do, and I am a student at Florida International University, majoring in Digital Animation and minoring in Art History.
I have autism, which gives me unique skills and abilities.
I have an excellent memory, which allows me to remember dates, faces and names, and music and sounds. My visual-spatial skills help me see how things fit. I also have great concentration, which allows me to do things for hours without getting bored or distracted.
I have a passion for art and animation. I started taking art classes at an early age, and my favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh. I have seen his art in many museums around the world. I started doing digital animation in 2015 by attending summer programs at Exceptional Minds, a film academy in Los Angeles that teaches autistic people how to do animation.
My coursework at FIU is helping me use my unique abilities to develop skills that will allow me to live independently and get internships and jobs that value my talents.
I hope you will enjoy looking through my work.
