Hi, I’m Leilani, an enthusiastic and highly motivated animation student with strong problem-solving skills who loves taking initiative and seeking new challenges. Currently studying Animation at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, I’m building a foundation in both film and animation—from lighting, editing, and color grading to illustration, 3D modeling, and stop motion. I’m eager to collaborate, learn quickly, and turn ideas into engaging visuals.
