Available to hire
I’m Dominique Egalite, a freelance illustrator skilled in concept art, visual storytelling, children’s books and interpersonal collaboration. I create emotion-driven fantasy art and enjoy exploring diverse social life that fuels my designs. My work spans character design, poster art, and 2D animation prep—and I love turning ideas into vibrant visuals that engage and inspire.
Currently I hold a BFA in Animation and Illustration from Montclair State University and have built experience through teaching assistant roles, gallery work, and community projects. I’m passionate about mentoring, art education, and collaborating with studios and teams to bring imaginative concepts to life.
