Hi, I'm Claire Seckler-Sun, a passionate artist specializing in storyboarding, comics, and animation. Currently, I am pursuing my BFA in Character Animation at CalArts, where I've been honing my skills and gaining hands-on experience through internships and personal projects. I love creating original comics and directing animated music videos, blending storytelling with vibrant visuals. When I'm not buried in storyboards or digital art software, I work as a receptionist and student assistant at CalArts, which allows me to connect with the creative community and stay organized. I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, which helps me communicate across diverse environments. Always eager to learn and grow, I enjoy collaborating on projects that bring stories to life through animation and comics.
