Available to hire
I’m Yeojin Jang, a 2D animator and character illustrator based in Chicago. I enjoy bringing characters to life with expressive motion and bold visuals, using tools like Clip Studio Paint, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
I’m currently pursuing a BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, focusing on 2D animation. I contribute to SAIC Animation Club and Afro-Audacity Animation Team, creating rough and final animations as well as character designs. In my free time I freelance character illustrations and chibi sprites for game projects on Steam and digital art platforms.
