Available to hire
Hi, I’m Arianna Mendicino, an artist with a passion for bringing stories to life through animation. I blend strong fundamentals in animation principles with a love for layout design and visual storytelling to create engaging worlds.
I’m always learning and collaborating—whether I’m building 2D backgrounds, illustrating props for an independent YouTube project, or assisting production teams with asset management and shot breakdowns. I’m excited to contribute to a studio that values creativity, growth, and teamwork.
