ARTIST PROFILE
Ya'at'eeh, My name is Jadarius Conn, as aforementioned I am a member of the Navajo Nation in the four corners area. I am originally from Cove, Arizona but currently I reside in Tempe, AZ. My family live a very traditional Navajo lifestyle, as well as come from a long line of silversmiths and sheepherders as well as veterans.
My own aims in higher education is to build up my career by also learning through it. Through higher education I can accomplish more for myself and my future career instead of having to figure out the necessary steps on my own without the guidance of my peers and professors, I can be actively involved in my education and figure out what works for me to accomplish the goals I set for myself.
My own professional goals are always evolving, but my main desired profession is to work in the industry as a VFX artist and Film Editor. My entire time taking courses at a collegiate level has all been studying and training to be an editor, but through trial and error in the editing field I picked up VFX. That's when I found a new passion, although I am still studying and practicing to be a film editor, I have found more gratitude and happiness doing VFX.
