Summary
My name is Michaela and I am an artist currently seeking full - time employment in the field of animation.
I am an animation graduate from Cambrian College, and since graduating, I have been advancing my software and industry knowledge.
Some of my work achievements have included my time at The Global Schoolhouse Initiative ( 2018 - 2019) working as their Illustrator, where I created a variety of illustrations and art assets for their online learning program aimed for children in underdeveloped countries. I have also worked as a Freelance Illustrator for The Cloud Riders (2021) and The Trick or Treaters Club (2022). My most recent project was working on season two of Happy House of Frightenstein as their Character and Outfit Designer!
I am very excited to start my next adventure. Let's connect and talk art!
