Hi, I’m Jayden Goetz—but everyone calls me Jade. I’m a 2D/3D animator and artist with a passion for character design, visual development, and storyboarding. I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring ideas to life and love working across animation, visual development, video game, and illustration projects. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation and Motion Media from Lesley University in May 2026. I’ve built hands-on experience through an animation internship at White Snake Productions, plus roles as a Game Master and a Data Analyst, which taught me to stay curious, adapt quickly, and balance creativity with clear communication. I’m proficient with tools like Blender, Maya, Adobe Animate, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine, and I’m excited to keep growing as an animator and artist.
