Hi!
My name is Ysannah, and you’ve found where I keep all my stuff! I am currently employed as a graphic designer with the Edmonton Public Library, and I am a proud graduate of the Bachelor of Design program at the University of Alberta, as well as the Computer Animation program at Sheridan College. I am passionate about exploring characters through both still and animated media, and use this enthusiasm to bring a charming human element to every project I work on. Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy what you see!
