Alina Jankowski

Alina Jankowski is a multi-disciplinary artist with a taste for a good story. A jack-of-all-trades mentality is evident in her interest and study in a variety of fields, including graphic design & motion graphics, photography & photo manipulation, illustration, and videography. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she trained as a dancer for 17 years, honing theatrical performance and physical storytelling skills. Her artistic influences are primarily the whimsy and adventure of the stories of her childhood, through which novel writing has been a consistent pursuit. As a huge proponent of mentorship, she works in the community as an Academy of Art Peer Mentor and a Women In Animation Club Officer. During her animation education, she put equal emphasis on 2D & 3D animation, though her love of editing and cinematography has pushed her to explore CG Layout.
