Hello, my name is Zoe!
I am a recent graduate with honors from New York University, with a BFA in Film and Television Production. I aspire to work in narrative film and television through pre-production and story development.
With production experience in promotional media, screenwriting, and SFX Makeup, I am also experienced in 2D animation, illustration, and photography, with a working knowledge in title graphics and digital design.
I travel between California and New York City, but my dream is to exist in a world that took hundreds of hours to conceptualize, storyboard, and pitch, and thousands more hours to draw. In my work, I like to explore the responsibility we feel towards those we love, and our struggles to achieve a sense of belonging. Consuming art is how I live, and creating art is how I feel alive.
