Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Leah Dwyer, an animator and designer blending 2D/3D animation, motion graphics, and character design to tell engaging stories. I love turning complex ideas into visually compelling experiences for education, marketing, and entertainment, using tools like Maya, Toon Boom Harmony, ZBrush, Blender, and the Adobe suite.
I’ve led teams, managed client communications, and delivered projects on tight timelines while keeping a friendly, collaborative approach. My goal is to bring ideas to life with a mix of technical skill, creativity, and problem-solving.
