"Hello! My name is Silvia Barraza and I am an illustrator and animation designer. I am an upcoming graduate of Otis College of Art and Design with a BFA in Digital Media, emphasis in 2D Animation.
My work is primarily focused on visual development for 2D animated film, television, and publishing. In my time at Otis, I have gained experience in environment and prop design and background painting, as well as industry-standard software like the Adobe suite and ToonBoom Harmony. My main goal is to one day contribute to the development of a 2D animated production as an art director. In my spare time, I love filling sketchbooks and trying out new mediums, and most recently I’ve been into woodblock carving. Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!"
