Hello!I'm Rae! I'm a professional artist living in Los Angeles with my partner and our spoiled pets. I do character & prop design as well as storyboarding for animation.
In design, I like working with diverse, unique, and expressive characters, and I love to do research. In boards, I like working with comedy and action. I value direct communication and collaboration across the whole team and efficient, smart approaches to assets so things are easy and straightforward for overseas animators to work with. I may be available for design or illustration freelance, depending on my schedule. If you're interested in my work or have any questions, please send me an email using the mail icon below. In my free time, I am working on writing a horror drama with my partner. I also like to play adventure games with a farming/building mechanic and ignore the fighting unless its for more farming/building supplies. |
