Hear how this high school cheerleader who loved making animations went on to attend Yale and start her career as a motion designer, director and founding partner at Imaginary Forces.
Karin Fong is a director and designer working at the intersection of film, television, and graphic design. A founding member of Imaginary Forces, she is known for designing iconic title sequences.
