One part artist.
One part nerd/geek.
One part sarcastic, yet nice and a little quirky.
One part split between being a goofball, yet hardworking.
Many parts definitely fueled by coffee and tea.
An avid reader of books and avid player of video games.
Those closest to me would call me “awesome.”
And all this just scratches the surface of what kind of person I am.
Hi, I’m Larisa. I’m an aspiring animator and a freelance designer.

Okay. So. I have an Associate’s in Fine Art, a Bachelor’s in Animation (specializing in 2D animation), and a Master’s in Animation (specializing in 3D animation). It doesn’t say much, except that I have a passion for animation and there were many nights where I barely slept. I enjoy doing it and my ultimate goal(s) right now is to be a part of the production of a film (animated or live action) and/or to be a part of the production of a video game using those skills. In the meantime, I spend my free time freelancing mostly graphic design with some really fantastic clients, which I enjoy doing because of the challenges it provides, while trying to learn new skills via videos, reading forums, or books. And this is in between part-time shifts as a receptionist. Exciting, right? Got to keep those skills sharp and constantly improving!
