MY STORY
I am a 23-year-old 3D/2D artist from Dublin, OH. I specialize in story, but enjoy working all parts of the animation pipeline!
Hi Universe, I'm Kailee!
Story Artist | CG Generalist | Animator
I create stories for people who are curious about the world. My work draws inspiration from science, history, psychology, and the questions that shape human behavior. As a Computer Animation graduate from Ringling College of Art and Design, I combine technical animation skills with a love of narrative to create characters and worlds that explore complex ideas through visual storytelling. Whether inspired by speculative fiction, fantasy, or real historical events, I am interested in stories that help us better understand ourselves and the universe around us.
The Call to Adventure
I developed a love for storytelling at a young age, always doodling, writing short stories and making plays for my friends to perform at recess. When I saw the movie Tangled in theaters when I was seven, I realized animation was the perfect career for me, since it combined art and storytelling. Working in this field has been my dream since.
Chasing the Dream
Before college, I spent my middle and high school years developing my craft, continuing to experiment with my art and building my portfolio. I learned how to make digital art, made my first animatic, and increased my drawing skills slowly in preparation to learn animation professionally in college!
