Hello, I'm Amaya Sanford! Growing up, I turned to films and T.V. shows to explore the worlds outside what I knew, having instantly fallen in love with the stories, people, and art of each one. Ever since then, I have have been hooked on entertainment art, and am currently finishing my final year in the BFA Digital Media Program at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. As a concept and visual development artist, I love creating iterations, sketches, and paintings that help to better create a colorful, immersive, and unique storytelling experience! I also enjoy combining my love of music, traditional painting, and digital art to make new and interesting pieces!
