About me

Hello, my name is Natalia Enríquez Estrada, but you can call me Nat.

I am a Visual Effects Artist, with a Bachelor’s in Digital Arts (2025), as well as holding a Diploma in 3D Animation and Visual Effects from Vancouver Film School (2024), and I am currently enrolled on a VFX Masters with Coco School taking classes online.

I am very interested in becoming an FX Technical Director, and I am constantly learning new skills in order to achieve that. As a matter of fact, I am currently taking a course in VEX in order to create tools with it.

I love watching movies and reading books in my spare time, specially when something new about it intrigues me. I also enjoy drawing occasionally, although I'm not the best at it.

Finally I would like to say I find joy in learning new things so that I can come up with new approaches, whether it be for a current situation or a new challenge, it never fails to excite me.
