About

Hi, I’m Avery Cheeks, a passionate animator and concept development artist specializing in 2D animation. I’m currently leading concept art for a 2D animated series and working as a storyboard artist and animator on exciting projects including an upcoming fighting game. My experience ranges from internships to leading roles, where I enjoy bringing stories and characters to life through animation and storyboard art.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation Motion Media from Lesley University, and along the way, I’ve gained hands-on experience in animation studios and community art centers. I’m always eager to collaborate and learn more while contributing creatively to animation and media projects.
