My name is Eleanor Bareford: a junior animator, illustrator, and worldbuilder.
As I have learned and grown in my craft, I have found that the joy of animation happens in the smallest details. While inbetweening can be tedious and often overlooked, I find something incredibly satisfying about watching characters come to life one frame at a time.
With my background in children's book illustration, I've learned how to marry visual appeal with clear, emotional storytelling. Illustration has also taught me how to work together with someone to build their story and to build up their vision from behind the scenes.
I have plenty of stories of my own, though, and whether I'm drafting a narrative from scratch or rolling initiative in a D&D campaign, I am constantly looking for ways to build worlds that feel alive and lived-in.
I'm graduating this May and am eager to bring my love for 2D production to a collaborative team!
