About

Hello! I’m Zina Elayyan, a diligent and highly organized artist with over 10 years of experience in the entertainment industry, focusing on daily operations of mid- and large-scale studios. I am a strategic thinker with a passion for games and a deep understanding of the many intricate components behind each project. I have hands-on experience managing multiple work packages on globally scoped productions and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver creative solutions using Nuke, Mocha Pro, Silhouette, and other industry tools. I thrive on guiding junior artists, sharing knowledge, and driving projects to successful completion.

I work well individually but thrive in team settings, continually honing leadership-related skills and communication. I am solutions-driven, detail-oriented, and adept at problem solving, time management, and coordinating with producers and managers to meet client demands. Above all, I am enthusiastic about leveraging my skills and experience to generate a positive impact on my team and projects.
