Christian McConnaghy is a 3D modeler, sculptor, prop designer, and environment artist. They have a bachelor's of fine arts in Emerging Media and Experimental Animation track from the University of Central Florida. They found their way into the Experimental Animation track because of the variety of learning opportunities and mediums that the program taught. While learning about animation, their interest in themed experience design grew and was fostered because of the overlap of the industries. They began to branch out in their technical knowledge, learning more about physical sculpting, scale models, and visual development while continuing to enhance their proficiency in digital programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Substance Painter, and Sampler, and SideFx Houdini.
