HI there, I'm Jiaxin (gee-ah-shin)!
I'm a 2D animator, illustrator, and video editor based in New York City.
For the past few years, I have been working as a freelance artist for various reading programs and film productions. I am now looking for full-time commercial work in animation. I am proficient in Adobe Suite, Toon Boon Harmony, Storyboard Pro, and OpenToonz.
Though I always liked to draw as a kid -- making silly comics with my brother and sketching my own imaginary fashion line -- I only realized I wanted to pursue animation as a career in high school after being mesmerized by the film Spirited Away. I never knew that animation had such a magical quality to it. It felt as if I was seeing a new color for the first time. At that moment, I knew I wanted to make something of my own like that one day.
I love to bring ideas and stories to life through my work. From my time as a freelancer, I've learned how to effectively communicate with clients, stay organized and manage my time well to ensure timely delivery, and quickly adapt to new projects. If you think I could be a good addition to your team, please feel free to contact me!
In my free time, I like to find hidden 80's music gems, go down Wikipedia rabbit holes, and learn how to make clothes with my sewing machine.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio!
