I'm Hannah, a passionate animator and visual storyteller who thrives on bringing characters to life in 3D and 2D. My practice spans from character animation and lip-sync to storyboarding, blocking, and color grading, with a strong emphasis on anatomy, weight, and expressive performance. I enjoy collaborating with teams and taking projects from concept to polished deliverables, always aiming to create engaging and believable visuals. Beyond animation, I design and illustrate, taking commissions and personal projects from idea to final artwork. I’m driven by storytelling, continuous learning, and collaborating with others to craft visuals that resonate across games, film, and digital media.
