Hey! I'm Amanda I'm an artist and aspiring production assistant passionate about the animation industry. I'm looking forward to learning more about the field and making friends in the industry.

Biography

I graduated in 2020 with a BA in Fine Art and History and a digital illustration concentration. I've always had a passion for art and visual storytelling and was introduced to the industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since quarantine, I have worked on my creative skills and taken every opportunity to learn all I can about animation and its technology. Over the past 3 years, I have developed skills in organization, working in fast-paced environments, and excellent customer service. Currently, I work in the retail industry where I have had opportunities with project management and visual merchandising. I am aspiring to work in animation as a production assistant and bring my skills of eagerness to help, eye for detail, and workflow efficiency to my future team and help them create unforgettable imaginative stories.
