MY NAME IS ALENA

Photo Mar 31 2025, 4 26 11 PM.jpg

I am a proud graduate of Gnomon School of VFX, Games, and Animation- where I honed my skills in Character Design, Grooming, and Look Development. Through my time in the program, I learned the ins and outs of the entire pipeline and became a 3D Generalist, but my true passion lies in developing iterative ideas into visually stunning concepts.

There's nothing quite like finding that spark that brings a story to life through texturing and shading. It's like being a mad scientist in a lab, except instead of bubbling potions, I'm conjuring up captivating visual experiences that engage and immerse the viewer.

My creative journey started early on with a love for musical theater at the Orange County School of the Arts, but I eventually decided to take my passion for language and literature to the American University of Paris, where I received my Bachelors degree in Literary Studies and Creative Arts. After indulging in croissants, baguettes, and figure drawing for a couple of years, I returned to the States to pursue a career in digital art.

I fell in love with Photoshop and specialized in portrait photography, shooting for various companies and attending master classes to keep improving. Eventually, my artistic path led me to Gnomon, where I took a figurative sculpting class, created a portfolio, and was accepted into their Digital Production Certificate Program.

 

And the rest, as they say, is history!
