Available to hire
Hi, I’m Liam Ranasinghe, a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Illustration and Animation Design. I’m passionate about 2D illustration and animation and have gained experience using various tools like Toon Boom Harmony, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments and am eager to bring my creativity and skills to the industry.
I’m always willing to learn and adapt, and I’m motivated by positive collaboration and communication within a team. I’m excited about opportunities that allow me to grow and put my animation skills to good use, and am happy to relocate to make that happen.
