When the Drop Becomes a Splash | Karolina Sereikaite | Paris HIVE 2023

We'll take over a decade of fluid design commercial work experience simplifying it into the key ingredients for making production-level simulations. She talks about her path to Houdini and how simplicity brings the best results. Karolina builds the mindset for you to carry to Houdini's small-scale simulations, making its workflow less scary, efficient, creative, and splashy-fun.
Karolina Sereikaite, born in 1988 in Lithuania, after graduating bachelor's in Psychology has found her full creative freedom in CGI. Founder of Catalysee and LearnWateryDesign platform. Her work has been displayed at Coachella twice, Tokyo Shibuya Center, and New York Times Square. She is often referred to as Fluid Design Queen in social media and in 2022 celebrated 10 years in Motion Design.

so talent and well speaker, a Realflow artist transition to Houdini only for the purpose to server better visual design but not about the tool in the end. Love the story
