Hi, I’m Gao Nuoya, a dedicated second‑year student pursuing a diploma in Illustration and Animation at NAFA. I’m passionate about turning ideas into visuals and eager to grow in both academic and professional settings. My early experiences at Hai Di Lao and Saizeriya helped me develop strong teamwork, customer service skills, and the ability to stay organized under pressure while building a foundation in visual storytelling. I’m especially drawn to illustration, character design, and animation. I want to deepen my skills in concept art, storyboarding, packaging design, and visual storytelling, and I’m open to roles across F&B, retail, and creative teams. I’m reliable, calm, and detail‑oriented, and I’m committed to delivering high-quality results as part of a motivated team.
