A little about Kristian Howald

I’m a computer graphics artist with over two decades of experience in animation and visual effects. After graduating from Sheridan College’s prestigious Classical and Computer Animation programs, I’ve worked in both the episodic and commercial industries. I have become a creative generalist, adept in technical and artistic skills. Even though I appreciate the more left-brain elements, I still believe that imagination is paramount.

In 2002 I had an opportunity to return to Sheridan as an Instructor. Five years later, I became a full-time Professor with the Post Graduate Computer Animation program. I am currently the Computer Animation program lead and fortunate to be part of a team that allows me the freedom to do what I do best. The opportunity to explore, learn, and share the industry’s most current developments has to offer with others. My enthusiasm for new methodologies and always looking to the future has motivated students and allowed me to shape the Computer Animation program to where it is now.

After getting my first Covid shot..one more to go.
