Available to hire
Hi, I’m Valentina Rosalia Di Luca, a precise and creative 2D animator and background designer from Milan, Italy. If chosen for this role, I would bring a strong eye for storytelling and I would prepare visuals that engage audiences. I’m comfortable working under tight timelines and I enjoy experimenting with new programs to express ideas visually.
Beyond animation, I love collaborating with teams, tutoring others, and representing projects at events. I’m fluent in Italian and English, able to communicate with the public, clients, and colleagues in both languages. I’m always open to opportunities to express my creativity and help bring ideas to life.
