About

Hi, I’m Yunica Taboso, a passionate Illustrator, Concept Artist, and Environment Artist based in Edmonton. I specialize in background design, visual development, and character sketches that help stories come to life. I enjoy crafting cinematic worlds and design systems that support storytelling from concept to final render.

Over the years I’ve contributed to animated shorts, jams, and educational projects, managing pipelines and collaborating with teams to deliver polished visuals. I’m excited to continue growing in visual development, animation, and production design while exploring new creative challenges.
