Hi, I’m Phonetiziana Abate. I’m a passionate 2D animator and illustrator currently studying traditional 2D animation and cut-out rigging at Scuola del Fumetto in Palermo. I love telling stories through expressive characters and crisp visuals, and I’m eager to learn and collaborate on creative projects. I earned a three-year degree in Comics and Illustration from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Reggio Calabria, and I’m expanding my practice with personal projects that explore Toon Boom Harmony, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and a range of Adobe tools to bring ideas to life.
