“I didn’t get started in this field until a bit
later in life,” explains Ravenna. “My parents
were stereotypically first-generation Asian
and wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer.
So I spent college trying to balance their
happiness and mine. I felt like I owed a lot
to them, and because I was the first child in
the family to attend a university. They would
tell me about how poor they were in Vietnam
and during their early life in the US and the
struggle of being a non-English speaking
immigrant. So I understand they had the best
intentions. When I was young we couldn’t
afford the heating, so I remember what that
was like and didn’t want to worry them.“I eventually graduated from the University
of Washington studying political science and
humanitarian rights,” continues Ravenna.
“I worked at a personal injury firm. At the
same time I had a part-time job as a web
production assistant at a book store doing
all sorts of creative activities, photography,
graphic design, etc. So while I was dying at
these dry legal jobs, I was having a good time
at my creative job. Eventually I decided to go
back to school for digital art and animation.
I attended for a couple years and eventually
got an internship at Harebrained Schemes.
I decided to drop out of art school to save
money and focus on the job. They eventually
hired me full time as a production/concept
artist. That’s how I got started!” Q5
