Hi, I’m Camilla 'Coco' Gray—a photographer, illustrator, animator, and designer who loves turning ideas into engaging visuals. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in Integrated Media from OCAD University and I have built a versatile practice across traditional and digital illustration, logo design, animation, and technical production (filming, lighting, editing, and photography). I thrive translating concepts into original work across multiple media, collaborating closely with clients to refine concepts, sizes, and placements, and delivering polished, client-approved pieces. I enjoy exploring creative problem-solving in fast-paced environments, and I’m always eager to tackle new challenges—from on-site shoots to brand storytelling and digital content campaigns.
