Hi, I’m Cassandra Chen, a Melbourne-based 2D animator and video editor who trained as an animation graduate. I enjoy blending 2D, 3D, and photography to craft cohesive, expressive visuals that tell engaging stories. I’m passionate about collaborating across disciplines to push creative boundaries and deliver polished, cinematic results. I thrive in rhythmic, dynamic editing and love projects that mix playful experimentation with strong storytelling. I’m always eager to learn, adapt, and contribute ideas that elevate a concept from storyboard to screen.
