About
Hello, I am ZD!
A passionate and diligent non-binary individual who lives to inspire others with storytelling and creativity. I believe in the power of storytelling through creation, whether that be through art or music! I have had a strong passion for both art and music from a young age and hope to pursue a career in concept/character design work for either games, Children's TV, illustration and animation. I'm open to all fields, and live to learn to expand my profession. I love to explore all fields within art, from essentials such as figure drawing to the principles of 2D animation.I have a passion for inspiring and educating children. I graduated with a first class BA (Hons) degree in Early Childhood Development and Learning, which gives me direct knowledge of child development and education of children aged from 0-8 years.In my spare time (disability/health permitting), I also play both guitar and keyboard with an aspiration to add my own tracks to go alongside my artwork.As a newly emerging professional (and throughout my career), I wish to constantly improve my skills to learn and grow as an artist. I believe in developing, implementing and inspiring lifelong learning. Thank you greatly, for checking out my work today!
