Hi! I’m Ovena Zhao, a motion-focused animator and interactive media artist based in Providence, RI, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration with a focus on Animation & Interactive Media at RISD. I enjoy blending traditional illustration with dynamic digital storytelling, exploring 2D character animation, product animations for social channels, and VR-driven game worlds. My work emphasizes playful, user-friendly motion design that enhances narrative and usability across digital platforms. I design micro-interactions, animated illustrations, and UI motion to elevate storytelling and interactivity. I love collaborating across disciplines to craft engaging visual experiences from concept through delivery, with a particular interest in experimental animation, interactive media, and visualizing space through color and motion.…Hi!
