Hi, my name's Aaron, I'm a freelance animator from the Midwest. Cel character and VFX animation are my specialty (Adobe Animate/Flash, Photoshop, AfterEffects). I always love meeting and working with new people, so if you have a project in mind you'd like to collaborate on, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Thank you!
