About

Hi, I’m Ada Espinal. I’m an animator and concept artist focused on character design, concept art, and 2D animation. I love turning ideas into expressive visuals and collaborating with teams to build cohesive worlds.

I have experience leading short film productions within academic programs, co-directing and producing projects from concept to final animation, and designing characters and backgrounds across multiple scenes. I’m currently based remotely in the Dominican Republic, and I’m excited to bring my storytelling and visual development skills to new creative challenges.
