Last month was GDC 2023, and we sent 10 GDC Scholarship recipients to the event. In this post series, we want to highlight our cohort from this year. We have the pleasure of introducing Kim Yeung, an Associate Gameplay Animator in the game industry.

ADF: Congrats Kim on being part of the 2023 GDC Scholarship cohort! Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hello! My name is Kim Yeung and I’m currently working as an Associate Gameplay Animator at Ubisoft San Francisco on XDefiant. I’ve been in the industry for almost a decade and 2 years ago, made the decision to work towards a career swap into animation. It’s been a crazy journey and has reignited my passion and love for the games industry.

ADF: What was one of the coolest things you learned at GDC?

How truly awesome and supportive the Animation community is. You really get to see this shine when you’re in person. Everyone that I met there was so welcoming, approachable, and passionate about the craft. I’ve made so many new connections and relationships. I can’t wait to do this again next year!
