Milana Karaica shares the way the animation studio NERD Productions is addressing unconscious bias.
In this masterclass on setting up an animation studio, Milana talks about the importance of not just hiring, but crucially, nurturing and developing young talent within their organisation.
Internal collaboration has always been a key focus at NERD Productions and working in an agile and dynamic way means that they don’t all have to be in the same room in order to work effectively.
Milana explains why it’s important to work with clients who share the same values and ethos as NERD Productions.
