About Rebecca A.
I\'m an aspiring art director specializing in character design and animation based in Chicago! Currently pursuing my MFA in Animation at DePaul University where I also received my BFA in Animation and minor in Game Design. I\'m very passionate about mental health and disability advocacy, music, character driven narratives, and creating vibrant and emotional worlds. I love playing with contrast created between dark themes and saccharine visuals in my personal work. I am skilled in 2D and 3D animation and rigging, and can work in varying mediums ranging from hand drawn (TVPaint), pixilation, 3D (Maya, Blender, Unity, Unreal), and hybrid. Previously a Women in Animation mentee for \"Breaking In: Character Design for TV\" with Dou Hong (Invincible, TMNT, My Adventures with Superman). In 2023 I was accepted into the Netflix Foundations Program where I was mentored in visual development. I was also accepted into the Black Women in Animation Bootcamp at Titmouse Studios in 2024. Currently interning at Kissing Party LLC, while finishing up my degree, and leveling up my skills. As an avid musician, I love creating my own soundtracks and have made music for video games and short films. In my free time I play the piano, create beats, DJ, and compose.
