We are thrilled to welcome our brand new rigging interns, Marta Germano & Megan Wendel!

Marta has an architectural background; however, after dabbling in 3D graphics, she decided a career change had to happen! She has since dived in as much as possible and has taken courses on asset and environment creation, rigging, and animation.

Megan is in her final year of her bachelor's degree in Computer Graphics at Lulea University of Technology. She hopes to acquire more industry insights and looks forward to working as part of a bigger team at Goodbye Kansas.

We’re pleased to hear that Megan and Marta enjoyed their first couple of weeks at GBK and feel super supported by our lead rigger, Peter Jemstedt, and senior riggers, Stephanie Holder and Gabija Smalinskaitė ❤️
