Available to hire
I’m Farone Kahuya, a UK-based multimedia artist and animator from Leeds who loves merging the bold aesthetics of music subcultures with visual storytelling. I’m passionate about creating fun, unique characters and worlds, and I enjoy collaborating with others as much as working solo to bring ideas to life.
I thrive in collaborative settings and can also work independently, eager to help breathe life into other people’s visions as well as my own. I’m always exploring new techniques and styles to keep my work fresh and engaging.
