BFA-Lighting and Look Dev

Isabella Cavallero

My name is Isabella Cavallero, a Texture Painter and Look Development artist with a passion for storytelling through both digital and real-world imagery. I finished up my BFA in Animation and Visual Effects in December 2025, and I specialized in Texture Painting and Look Development.
My journey into Texture Painting began back in high school when I took a digital art class on a whim and immediately fell in love with the process of bringing ideas to life in a digital realm. That whim turned into a lifelong passion, which is now heavily inspired by my love for classic animated movies and TV shows that shaped my creative imagination growing up.
I was born and raised in the Bay Area but have always loved exploring new places. So far, I’ve traveled to over 36 states and plan to visit all 50 in the coming years. One of my biggest dreams is for my art to take me abroad — to see the world and find inspiration for my art in different cultures and environments.
