Available to hire
Hi, I’m Holly Emerson - Byrne, an aspiring animator based in Dalkey, Co. Dublin. I’m currently studying Animation at the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology and have hands-on experience in character animation, mural art, and collaborative storytelling.
I enjoy drawing, designing characters, and bringing ideas to life on screen, both in teams and when working independently. I’m motivated, reliable, and eager to learn more about 2D/3D animation, motion graphics, and visual communication.
