Who am I?

I am Daniel Adam Valle, a visual designer and self-taught character animator! I am of Puerto Rican descent and was born and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania.Ever since I was very young, I had a passion for animation like no other, growing up on shows from PBS Kids and Cartoon Network throughout my childhood. I was so creatively inspired by filmmaking and the animation medium that I started creating stop-motion LEGO films to put on YouTube as early as 2010. When I got the opportunity to make animations, I made my current channel and namesake of my online presence, DanDaMiniFig, on March 14th, 2014. Since then, I have been refining my knowledge and skills in animation on my own.I currently work for several shows within the Object Show Community, most notably Battle for Dream Island and Inanimate Insanity, both of which I currently hold a position in animation and storyboard art.My goal for the future is to direct my own animated show for fans and animation connoisseurs alike, similar to those I have worked with thus far! I hope to successfully produce a cartoon pilot to get picked up for streaming or crowdfunded for YouTube. I hope you can stick around to see my journey unfold!
