Summary
Hello there! I'm Christian Elizarrez, and I love designing and creating art. My dad is a long time designer in the Animation Industry, and I learned so many of its ins and outs before I even got started. I got my first animation job as a Production Assistant, and then quickly got moved up to being a Production Coordinator. I then finally broke into the design aspect of animation as a Clean Up artist. While working towards my bachelors degree I took various painting, life drawing, and illustration classes, my favorite being painting. I would love to bring my artistic abilities to any team setting, as I really enjoy creating with others! Thank you so much for your consideration!
