Hi, I’m Alex Gentemann, a passionate concept artist and recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design’s Animation program. I love creating original illustrations and working on visual development projects, especially for children’s media. I’ve had the chance to direct and animate short films, and I really enjoy collaborating with other creatives to bring stories to life. Outside of my studies, I’ve worked as a junior illustrator for a children’s book production company and helped run children’s art programs at a local museum. I’m always eager to learn new skills and grow as an artist, and I’m excited to continue contributing to creative projects in the animation and illustration fields.
