Hi, I'm Sebastian Schwander, a 2D animator and designer based in Denver. My passion for animation led me to earn a Bachelor's Degree in 2D Animation from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, where I explored industry-standard software and pushed beyond the assignment to create work I’m proud of. I enjoy collaborating with others, managing multiple projects, and continually sharpening my craft—whether it's characters, storyboards, or polished visuals for clients and my YouTube channel. I'm always learning, adapting, and finding new ways to tell stories through design and motion.
