Broas’s passion for artistic endeavors runs deep, inherited from her grandfather, a painter, and her father, a photographer. A Los Angeles native, she began her VFX career after completing her studies in Studio Art at UC Irvine. She first took on vault and runner roles at various companies, while simultaneously mastering Autodesk’s Combustion. She parlayed her facility with that toolset to become an artist and eventually became equally proficient in Flame. In the process, she’s brought her talents to a number of LA-based studios including Riot, Creo and Method Studios before joining Company 3. Beyond her creative and technical abilities, Broas attributes her success to her collaborative spirit which is so important in this type of work.
