VIRGINIA TECH
Ethan Candelario is a senior at Virginia Tech’s School of Visual Arts, with a concentration in graphic design. During undergrad, he has worked on several large projects, including an interactive exhibit at the Utah Museum of Natural History, and a projection-mapped documentary to celebrate Virginia Tech’s sesquicentennial. He also manages the photography section at the student newspaper, the Collegiate Times. Past employers tend to describe Ethan as a generalist — but his true passion lies in After Effects. While working on the exhibit in Utah, Ethan saw firsthand how motion graphics have a unique ability to both educate and entertain, and Ethan hopes to one day have a career where he can blend technology and design to do just that. While not working, Ethan enjoys thrift shopping and photography.
