About

Hi, I’m Yi-Ting Yuan, a recent graduate from Sheridan College with an Honours Bachelor of Animation (June 2026, GPA 3.79).

I am a creative 2D hand-drawn animator, character designer, and visual development artist. I specialize in expressive character design — combining animal and human characteristics through clean, expressive linework — and my work was frequently selected by faculty as exemplary references for fellow students. My experience spans character animation, storyboarding, background art, colour design, clean-up, and visual effects, including my thesis film Into The Sky and a visual art internship at Picnic Game Labs.

I am available for freelance work at 5–10 hours per week, at an hourly rate of $18–20, and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills align with the needs of your team.
