Dan Segarra

Senior Animator

Dan Segarra has been a professional animator since 2005 and is an animator at Skydance Animation. He was one of the first graduates of Animation Mentor and went on to work for Reel FX, Sony Imageworks, and Blue Sky Studios. Besides animating, he also has storyboarded and designed characters, so he is very comfortable drawing over animation to give constructive feedback. He loves music and enjoys playing the guitar and ukulele to clear his mind.
