QUALIFIED?

September 26, 2021

Asher Oliver has never given up in forging his career as an animator. He talks to Andy about opening doors and always learning.

Asher Oliver didn’t take the traditional ‘qualified’ pathway into the creative industry.

After graduation from university with a Business Management degree in 2009, he moved back home and encountered a huge struggle in regards to finding employment.

Like many graduates having to rely on casual work meant Asher became a waiter in an Italian restaurant, but he never gave up what had become a passion on the side for animation.

While researching opportunities, Asher came across Gary Vaynerchuk and his mantras of:

HUSTLE - HARD WORK - FOCUS - NO EXCUSES

When Asher reached out to Gary himself, opportunities appeared. The collaboration opened many doors and he now works full time at Food Fight Studios.
