The Sentient Vision

Keith lost his art school dream and a $300 non-refundable deposit when the school accidentally gave his scholarship to another student. He ended up going to a local State College. Although he acquired industry-relevant skills as the Art Student of the Year, without business knowledge, he failed to provide for his wife and baby boy. This ultimately led Huang to quit art professionally, get a business degree, and pursue a career in finance. After years away from the art world, he finally found himself in a position to make a difference and founded Sentient to pave the road for his 3 creative kids.

Bryan finished a BFA at BYU and an MFA at Academy of Art University, where he then taught for 7 years, helping to develop their online art program. After years of winning awards, he began to share his knowledge in private workshops and guest lectures at major studios such as Pixar and various art schools. Throughout the years, artists around the world have asked him to teach, but had to turn them down due to his busy exhibition schedule. Eventually, he founded Sentient to share his techniques and best practices in the most affordable and accessible way possible.
