Hi there! I'm Hope Margaritis, a Columbus College of Art and Design graduate specializing in animated short film production. My work blends character design, storytelling, and hands-on production to bring ideas from concept to screen, with experience in directing, animation, color, and pre- and post-production. I've collaborated on independent films as a director/animator and colorist, building projects from concept through final render. Beyond school projects, I work as a barista while pursuing animation opportunities, which has strengthened my leadership and teamwork skills, and keeps me connected to collaborative, fast-paced environments. I’ve completed internships as a colorist/rough animator, contributed to publications, and served as a club treasurer, all of which have sharpened my craft and project-management abilities.…Hi there!
