SWIM Season 02 Episode 03 - Anne Walker Farrell

On a bitter Saturday in February, the team gathered to discuss the latest on SWIM, from updates to new years resolutions. We also talked in detail with team member and co-host, Julia Iverson. Julia is a multifaceted motion designer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who recently finished an animated short for Motionpoems entitled, “The Robots Are Coming.”  When she’s not in her throne buttoning up her novel, she’s illustrating, or cuddling with her beloved rescue dog (and SWIM’s mascot) Madi.
