About

I’m Siegmund Aranda, an animation and visual effects major and a recent New Mexico State University graduate with a Bachelor’s in Creative Media. I enjoy building strong visual stories through mixed media, combining both digital and traditional approaches, to create polished, engaging artwork.

I’ve contributed to projects, from planning and storyboarding to character design, 3D environment modeling, animation, and compositing. Most recently, I led all aspects of my senior capstone film, handling everything from the creative direction to production tasks, and I also create commission-based digital artwork for clients.
