HELLO, MY NAME IS DEANNA.

Ever since I can remember, art has been a hugely impactful force in my life. I grew up following my own creative impulses, sketching, crafting, illustrating, and painting for my whole childhood and through middle school. When I entered high school, I discovered graphic design and fell in love with the digital world of art as well, especially upon trying my hand at digital illustration, which allows me to combine my illustrative and graphic design skills into a singular form of art.​ In university, I continued to expand upon and refine my skills and knowledge in all of these areas of art and design, while also adding to my arsenal the essentials of web design, interactive 2D animation, motion graphics, and storyboarding. I received my Bachelor's in Art and Design from Sacred Heart University, and spent a short while after that exploring illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design.

 

Currently, I continue to participate in professional learning courses with CG Master Academy in the hopes of improving and honing my skills a little bit  more every day. I am very proud of what I have accomplished so far as an artist, but even more so, I am excited, inspired, and eager to keep learning and creating and to propel myself to even greater heights in the future.

INSPIRATION

I am striving to work in the entertainment industry, as a concept artist or visual development artist. I'd love to one day join the creatives behind a Star Wars or Marvel project, since I have grown up loving those fandoms. I have always been powerfully moved by stories, the beauty of other worlds, and the journeys of characters who hold up a mirror to our souls and teach us about ourselves. My goal in my artistic career, perhaps in life, is to be a part of giving that to someone else.

EXPERIENCE

I designed logos, posters, t-shirts, and other promotional content for various school and local clubs and organizations all through high school, and into college. Currently, I work as a graphic design contractor, and I have been doing so for the last couple of years, along with occasional commission work.
