Available to hire
Hi there! I’m J’Von King Joking, a Detroit-based animator and artist pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Entertainment Arts: Animation. I love bringing characters to life through 2D and 3D animation, stop-motion, and storytelling, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to turn ideas into compelling visuals. I’ve built hands-on experience in marketing, office administration, and teaching, which helps me stay organized, collaborative, and adaptable.
In my spare time I paint acrylics, work on personal animation projects, and study new techniques. I’m excited to grow as an animator and contribute to projects in media and entertainment, education, and beyond.
