About

Hi, I’m Isabella Patak, a passionate animator and visual development artist with a combined BFA/MA in Animation and a minor in Spanish from DePaul University. I love bringing stories and characters to life through hand-drawn animation and digital tools, and I thrive working both independently and collaboratively in remote team settings. My experience spans various roles, including animation, video editing, concept art, and character design in the media and entertainment sector.

With a strong foundation in time management and interpersonal communication, I am adept at balancing multiple projects and pushing creative boundaries. I am always eager to incorporate feedback to refine my work and deliver quality outputs on schedule. Whether animating short films or designing characters, I approach every project with enthusiasm and a positive mindset.
