Hi! I’m Abby!
I’m a storyboard artist and illustrator currently based in the Los Angeles area. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s animation program.
I love boarding both big, dynamic fight scenes and smaller, quieter character moments. My two biggest artistic influences are my lifelong love of action anime and my proud Cuban American heritage.
Aside from an artist, I’m also an amateur plant parent, cat lover, D&D player, and Seattle Mariners diehard.
