Hi! My name is Alyah (ah-lee-yah). I’m from Boston, MA and have a bachelor’s degree in animation and I have studied abroad in Japan for character design. The reason I got into animation was because I loved seeing my characters and ideas come to life. As a recent post grad, I am eager to get started and put what I have learned to use. Designing and animating are not just work for me, it genuinely makes me happy and what fills me with purpose! For more of my work feel free to check out my website at _Website not available.
