Available to hire
Hi, I’m Jade Li from Toronto, Canada, and I’m pursuing a career in animation. I’ve built hands-on experience as a freelance commission artist and 2D animator, creating backgrounds, rough animations, and artwork tailored to client requests.
I’m friendly, sociable, and hardworking, with more than 50 hours of volunteer work in school activities and teaching assistant roles. When I’m not drawing, I enjoy tennis, badminton, and ice skating and love learning new techniques to grow as an artist.
