    Before relocating to Los Angeles, I also formerly volunteered at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco!

    About the artist

    ​

    Hello!

    My name is Faustina and I am CRAZY about superb storytelling, specifically through the art of animation. I also enjoy stage theatre and working as a voice-over artist in small online projects on the side.

    ​

    I seek to continue to immerse myself into the animation pipeline and all that goes into it firsthand. I want to learn from fellow artists and bring meaningful stories to life - my ultimate goal as an artist is to guide people on a journey that they can emotionally connect to.
     

    I based in Los Angeles, but I am a recent grad from California College of the Arts in Oakland, California. I also formerly attended San Francisco State University, where I first majored in Cinematography for two years.

    ​

    I also recently completed an award-winning short animated film with my partner called "Brush: a Fox Tale" for our senior thesis. It can be found in the navigation bar above.

    ​

    I hope you enjoy my work. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!
