Advisory Panel

Our panel of advisors is comprised of Singaporeans who have spread their wings abroad to internationally renowned studios in their respective CG fields. As fellow Singaporeans, they can relate to the issues that many aspiring CG artists in Singapore face in their journey towards learning and improving their skills. They share their knowledge and experience, providing information on the latest trends and innovations in their fields. This helps us to continually enhance and update our programmes to meet the changing needs of the global CG industry.
