About me

Hey! I'm Michelle, a 22 year old 2d generalist / illustrator!

I'm passionate about FX animation, cats, medieval weapons, hoarding plushies (specifically pusheen), mixing mediums and reading.

I dabble in concert photography and mixed media art to keep me inspired and I love finding inspiration in all forms of art. If I’m not creating I’m curling up in bed with my cat and a good book.

I'm currently available for 2D FX & character animation, background art, visual development and multimedia work!
