MFA - Visual Development

Laura Houck

A self-motivated visual development artist with a strong foundation in drawing and perspective, creating original environments and unique character designs, skilled at using light and color theory to drive impact. Combined experience of 3-5 years in designing backgrounds, props, graphics, and marketing for independent film and series projects. In additional to having a MFA in Visual Development, I have a Business Marketing and Graphic Design Bachelors Degrees.

Outside of the university through different independent projects I have developed skills for 2D animation and implementing Blender into my creative process to be helpful between the 2D and 3D pipelines.

Besides my love of drawing I always find myself studying the different art styles and techniques used in many animated films and series that I haven’t discovered yet.
