Available to hire
Hi, I’m Tabatha Paya, a 2D illustrator and animator based in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. I enjoy turning ideas into expressive visuals and I specialize in 2D animation, character design, and layout, with a strong background in compositing. I’m proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Procreate, Toon Boom Harmony, and Premiere Pro.
I’ve contributed to projects like Dreamwall’s Webtoon, worked as an Animation Assistant on L’Enclume’s Musée Gaspard project, and served as a junior compositing artist for NeXFrames’ Billy the hamster cowboy. I’m a collaborative, detail‑oriented creator who thrives in both team settings and independent work.
