I’m Ashley Stump, a passionate animator and graphic designer based in Michigan. I’m pursuing a BFA in Animation with a minor in Illustration at College for Creative Studies, where I’m exploring storytelling through 2D animation, character design, and branding. My hands-on experience includes creating 2D character turnarounds, backgrounds, and logos, and I’ve collaborated with teams using Adobe Suite and Toon Boom to bring ideas to life. In addition to school projects, I’ve built real-world skills through internships and freelance commissions, balancing creative vision with client needs and production schedules. I enjoy turning concepts into polished visuals and am excited to contribute to creative teams in entertainment, advertising, and design.
