Inna Leonov-Kenny

I am originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, but came to the US in 1990 and became a citizen in 1998. I graduated from Drexel University in 2001 with a degree in Interactive Digital Media, and then worked as an animator/3D generalist for Spitz, Inc. from 2002 to 2022, helping create immersive shows which focused on science education. In 2023, I first started teaching adjunct classes, starting with University of the Arts and later moving to Drexel and Kutztown Universities. My classes included Intro to Maya, Simulations and Effects (Houdini) and a discourse class on technology’s effect on society. I have also served as an international jury member at Fulldome Festival Brno (Czech Republic).

Since becoming a freelance artist, I have been collaborating on various projects with Thorne Media and Center City Film and Media. I currently live in Ridley Park, Pa with my husband, kids and cats. In my free time, I read, act in community theater and watch lots of historical/comedy content.
