An international and multilingual senior majoring in Digital Design with an emphasis on Animation with a minor in Programming in C#, Keerthana Krishnakumar Juttu is an academically competent professional and an aspiring and dedicated artist.
An avid reader and rising student leader, Keerthana deeply believes that stories influence people to be better, do more, and come alive to the miracle of life. Seeing how Prince Zuko forges his own path by overcoming his struggles in Avatar the Last Airbender or how Belle stays true to her empathetic self despite all her suffering in Beauty and the Beast inspires Keerthana to be resilient in the face of problems and express compassion in all her decisions. By creating impactful storylines and memorable characters, she has seen how the lessons from Movies or TV Shows are intricately intertwined in the souls of the audience, empowering them to never give up, seize their day, and take charge of their lives.
A quote from her favorite novel states, “It isn’t important to read the letters. The important thing is where the letters lead you.” Thus, through the medium of animation and design, Keerthana is ready to tell intentional and compelling stories with like-minded peers to motivate people to pioneer uncharted territories of their lives and blossom in their pursuits.
