Hi! I’m Kasey, an aspiring animator and storyboard artist based in California. I completed a BA in Art, Option in Animation at California State University, Los Angeles, and have pursued additional studies through East Los Angeles College, Better Youth, and Venice Arts. I love bringing characters to life through expressive storytelling and vibrant visuals, and I’m excited to collaborate on student films or short animations. Beyond my creative work, I volunteer and work with youth programs. I’m always eager to learn new tools and techniques—from Maya to Adobe Animate—while thriving in collaborative environments that value curiosity and clear communication to deliver quality results.
