Hi! I’m Kaitlyn Kendall, a Story Artist and Character Designer with a BFA in Emerging Media: Character Animation from the University of Central Florida. I thrive in collaborative, production-driven environments and love bringing team-led ideas to life. At UCF I’ve had opportunities to expand my creative and professional network and to experience a production pipeline designed to reflect the 3D feature film industry. During my Associates at Hillsborough Community College in Visual Arts, I learned the essentials of solid drawing, perspective, form, and the principles of art, animation, and design, as well as the foundation of digital media workflows. I’m excited to grow as a versatile artist who can contribute to story development, design, and animation across teams and disciplines. Thank you for your time and consideration reviewing my profile! Hope to hear from you soon.
