My name is Elly Kim. As a Bachelor of Illustration student at Sheridan College, I am excited to apply for the freelance illustrator. I am passionate about creating expressive visuals through drawing, character design, and motion. I am eager to contribute to active productions and studio-driven projects. With experience using Adobe tools and a strong interest in motion animation, I am excited to support ongoing projects and continue developing my technical and creative skills. Through my coursework and personal projects, I have developed a strong foundation in illustration, visual development, and the fundamentals of 2D animation. As an Illustration major, my primary focus has been on drawing, character design, composition, and visual storytelling with foundational experience with animation principles. Additionally, I have one year of experience using Adobe After Effects for basic animation and compositing tasks. I am familiar with processes such as character design, perspective and style exploration, and I am comfortable working independently on detailed visual tasks. These experiences have allowed me to develop a strong technical foundation and effective time management skills. My academic experience has emphasized iterative development and regular one-on-one critiques, which has helped me receive and apply feedback effectively. I have learned how to carefully apply direction from instructors to refine my work while maintaining visual consistency and clarity. Through this process, I developed the ability to revise efficiently and stay organized across multiple stages of a project. This experience strengthened my ability to adapt quickly and remain focused when working on detailed production tasks. I am excited about the opportunity to develop my animation and compositing skills in After Effects while supporting active productions through illustration and animation projects. I believe that my background has prepared me to be a reliable and valuable member of your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
