Hi, I’m Aliyah Najera, an Animated Arts graduate with a specialization in concept art, based in Bethlehem, PA. I love turning ideas into vivid characters and worlds, and I’m excited to apply my skills in a collaborative, entry-level role. I’ve built a solid foundation in digital illustration, 2D and 3D design, and motion graphics through coursework and projects, including storyboards, animatics, and short animations. I’m proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Toon Boom, Maya, Substance Painter, and Procreate, and I’m fluent in Spanish. I’m seeking an entry-level position to grow as a concept artist and contribute to a creative team.
