Will Selviz is an Afro-Caribbean multidisciplinary designer who specializes in immersive media technologies. He is the founder of RENDRD Media, an organization that brings storytelling to life through animation and RENDRD Foundation, a nonprofit group leveling the playing field for BIPOC communities in digital design.
