I'm Arielle, a Filipino-American artist who was born and raised in the Bay Area. Animation and games have always been huge inspirations in my creative endeavors. They offer a sense of escapism and feeling of joy through unique ways. Early on I picked up art as a hobby and eventually pursued it professionally. In 2021 I completed my BFA in Visual Development from Academy of Art University and have been freelancing since. My recent experience includes working as a Production Manager and Visual Development Artist for Group Hug Productions, painting murals for the nonprofit organization Three Thirty Three Arts, and interning as an artist for the indie animation studio Echo Bridge. I would like to take my experience thus far and further my knowledge about the professional industry to continue leveling up my skills. I hope to work in the animation or games industry in the production or art/design departments to positively impact others like animation and games have impacted me. Nice to meet you!
