Today’s podcast guest is Terra Henderson. Terra is a freelance Motion Designer who has lived in Texas, New York, and Georgia. Despite growing up in a small Texas town, Terra pursued her dream of becoming a Motion Designer by moving away. After completing school at SCAD she took the ultimate professional leap and moved to New York City. Over time Terra has learned valuable lessons in networking, specializing, and the freedom of being freelance.  Terra’s laid-back perspective on work and life is a cool reminder that you don’t have to live in the biggest cities to be a successful Motion Designer.

It’s pretty common knowledge at this point that the world of Motion Design education is changing. From online bootcamps to tutorials, the need for brick-and-mortar schools is slowly fading.

The work Michael does at MoGraph Mentor has always been a huge source of inspiration for the team here at School of Motion so we thought it’d be fun to sit down and chat about what it took to create MoGraph mentor.   https://www.schoolofmotion.com/podcast/michael-jones-mograph-mentor
