Hi, I’m Kayla Richardson, a dedicated and ambitious animation student based in New York. I built a solid foundation at Interlochen Arts Academy and am pursuing a BFA in Animation at the School of Visual Arts. I enjoy solo and collaborative projects that bring charming, impactful stories to life, with a focus on 2D animation, character design, and storyboarding. I’ve enjoyed participating in the 24-Hour Animation Contest for Students in 2022 and 2023, and I helped create the animated short film Out for a Bite during the 2024-2025 school year. I’m eager to keep learning and connecting with other creatives in the animation industry.…Hi, I’m Kayla Richardson, a dedicated and ambitious animation student based in New York.
