About

Hi, I’m Ashen Rain Blumberg, an animator, cartoonist, and director who loves bringing stories to life with playful characters and expressive visuals. I’m passionate about collaboration, world-building, and telling human-centered stories through animation and design.

I’m pursuing a BFA in Animation at the School of Visual Arts, and I’ve contributed to CalArts student projects, CSSSA programs, and community arts initiatives. I thrive in creative teams, enjoy mentoring younger artists, and like taking ideas from sketch to screen.
