Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandon Dean Johnson.
Hi Brandon Dean, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After living in Europe for a couple of years after college, I decided to relocate to Los Angeles. I wanted to test my skills and try to work in animation. My dream job was to work for Disney at the time. Once arriving in LA, I ended up being homeless with my best friend and cousin who also decided to move out here with me. It took some time to get into a stable living situation but, once I did, things really started to fall into place. I found a place where I could spend my time offering mentor/volunteer services and I am still part of that organization today (Create Now). Additionally, I was able to land a dream job with Pure Imagination studios as a Graphic Designer/Coordinator. Through Pure Imagination, I was able to work on a ton of animated projects for studios like Disney, Warner Bros, Dreamworks, etc. Now five years later......
