About

My name is Amanda Iwahiro and I am an illustrator, animator, and graphic designer. I graduated from the Visual Communications program at Chemeketa Community College in graphic design and have a strong passion for storytelling and making ideas visually come to life. Reptiles, animals, sci-fi, and fantasy themes are some of my favorite visual elements that I enjoy viewing as inspiration.

I started out as a self-taught digital artist in Dec 2012 and have strived to learn more and improve my skills as both an illustrator and animator ever since. Throughout high school, I began making illustrations, comics, and small gif animations during my spare time. In 2017, I began putting it all together and started creating my first full short animations. From what was once a hobby for me has now turned into a full-time passion.
