About
Hello, my name is Dylan Salaman.
I am an animator, storyboard artist, character artist, and screen writer. I have a fierce passion for animation and visual storytelling. I’m eager to gain hands-on experience and turn my creativity into a career, bringing ideas to life with careful planning, strong organization, and a collaborative mindset.
Ambitious and creatively driven, I design characters, storyboard scenes, and craft engaging narratives. I thrive on learning, delivering quality work on time, and continuously refining my craft through personal projects and freelance work.
My areas of focus and expertise lie in storyboarding, 2D animation (frame-by-frame and rigging), character design, illustration, motion graphics, and screen writing.
