Hi, I'm Alice Laybourn, a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker specializing in animation, concept art, and game design. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Animation and Spanish with a Graphic Design minor from Buena Vista University and have built a career blending storytelling with strong visuals across short films, branding, and interactive media. My digital toolkit includes Unity, Spine, ZBrush, Blender, After Effects, and the full Adobe Creative Suite. When making traditional works I specialize in watercolor, colored pencil and graphite illustrations. With these tools I have cultivated I can transform ideas into vivid characters and immersive environments. For the past 2 years I have been a digital artist an animator at Gold Creek Games. I have contributed to a multitude of projects there and have collaborated with multiple high profile clients to include Disney, Nickelodeon, Paramount, and Cornell University. This is a remote position and requires strict deadlines, clear communication, and acute attention to detail in order to deliver polished visuals to my teammates and clients.
