Hi!
I’m Anna Zhu, an artist and designer based in LA.
I’m driven by the powerful art of storytelling. Whether its in the subtle messaging of a poster, an intricate illustration, or a refined animation, I want to use my creativity to make a positive mark on this world. I have a background in learning visual development art for entertainment, and along the way I found a passion for motion design so I switched directions! You’ll see that my art is still very much influenced by my background of painting and drawing. Enjoy exploring my work :)
