Cleo Somohano is a first year Digital Animation and Interactive Media (DAIM) track graduate student in the Department of Design's Master of Fine Arts program. She returns to The Ohio State University after graduating in May 2024 with a degree in Moving Image Production, minors in Film Studies and Spanish, and a certificate in Translation and Interpretation. Coming in with a background in film, she is excited to explore interactivity in digital media - namely in exploring video game production! In her research interests, she is interested in developing a well informed approach to creating materials/textures assets shaped by an understanding of real-world artists' processes and how the properties of their materials interact with and shape a work. She hopes to explore the digitization of real-world arts processes to achieve certain stylistic choices in 3D digital spaces - and how they might tie into the digitization and archival of crafts processes.
