Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alexandria Szewczyk Derby, a Daemen University animation student. I’ve built a foundation in 2D and 3D animation, concept art, visual development, and storytelling, with hands-on experience in Maya, Toon Boom Harmony, Procreate, and storyboard work. I love turning ideas into vibrant visuals and collaborating to create engaging characters and worlds.
In addition to my creative practice, I’ve supported campus life as a Summer Event Assistant and Tutor, coordinating visits and assisting with on-campus labs. I’m eager to bring my organizational skills, collaborative spirit, and creative energy to dynamic, community-centered projects.
