My name is Jaidyn Pham, I’ve got big dreams to take my art to higher accomplishments. I am both attending Los Altos High School, GO EAGLES! And expanding my creative knowledge here at Freestyle Academy! I’m focusing on Animation as an elective so that I may learn how to make my characters even more life-like. I aspire to make my own stories sometime in the future, but for now I’ll stick to developing my story telling on Google Docs. I frequently love to ramble about my fixations of different media from Transformers to Spider-verse to whatever may catch my eye next!
My core values in life are to grow and be able to create the person I would like to be. It’s ideal for me to be able to learn and process information and to be able to apply it to my day to day life. I also care for self-image and improvement. I’d like to show people who I am on first impression and also to improve any traits that I deem in need for growth.
Outside of my school life I like to just lay back and let all the stress from school dissipate from my mind, either with a quick nap or distracting myself with social media. I’m strict about having time for myself, it’s necessary to be able to take my mind off of school. Drawing is the best form to let all creative ideas out and prioritizes most of the time that I am at home.
I expect myself, as a Freestyle student, to be able to absorb the technicality of Digital Media and the fluid creativity of English to help others or use these skills to better the abilities I lack. I want to see if I can perceive myself differently, if I can shape myself more differently now that I am gaining ideas in mediums that are a bit foreign to me.
Sometimes I find myself anxious with some projects, but it is interesting to see how I adapt and manage to make the best out of the situation. I force myself, especially in animation, to do more than just a rotating object. Because wanting to know how to improve is to try new techniques.
I express who I am and how I operate in Freestyle with my style of writing and drawing.
