Hi, I’m Abby Chavis. I have a bachelor’s degree in Digital Media from the University of Saint Francis and continued my training through iAnimate, along with one-on-one mentorships with industry animators Chris McCormick (Blizzard) and Angie Jones (Rockstar Games). While my degree gave me a broad foundation, I pursued mentorships to specialize in 3D character animation, focusing on body mechanics, performance, and storytelling. Professionally, I’ve worked on an indie game with a small studio doing 3D character animation and contributed 2D character animation to a pilot episode picked up by Frederator, gaining real production experience. I’ve also collaborated on a short film submitted to festivals, and my strongest work (primarily developed during my mentorships) is featured on my demo reel.
