Hi! My name is Heron. I am a 2D animator and illustrator with a Bachelor's of Media Arts degree from Emily Carr University of Art + Design.I'm a passionate storyteller for tragic, exciting narratives through storyboarding and animation. My bread and butter is in character acting!The majority of my current work consists of character-based digital animation and illustrations. I'm looking into broadening my skills at visual development, character and background design.When I'm not drawing, I like to play electric guitar, craft, and play with my dogs.
