Welcome

Gabriela Méndez - Visual Artist

I am a visual artist who has been working as a freelance animator and illustrator for over 7 years. I have always loved storytelling and creating unique universes.

Giving life to characters and evoking feelings through image has been my favorite part of the process since I decided to pursue art as a career!

My journey started in 2016 working as a storyboard artist. From there, I transitioned to frame-by-frame animation, cut-out, background development, and character design.

After two years of working as an animation assistant, I began landing bigger jobs as the main animator and art director and animation director. These experiences helped me develop my imagination and ability to translate ideas into visuals.

Art is my passion, and I look forward to working with you!
