“Having talented people around you who put in the work only makes you better as a person. In all elements, not only just work; as a person, in life.”

This week we have a super deep discussion with Albert Omoss, a computational artist and creative technologist from Buck, where he shares his path in the industry, the multitudes of 3D and coding softwares he uses to produce his work, and the profound effects love and loss can have on creativity and personality.
