BFA - 2D Animation, Storyboarding, Visual Development

Cierra Shearrill

My name is Cierra Shearrill, and I’ll be graduating from the Academy of Art University with a BFA in 2D Animation and Visual Effects. My main focus is on 2D Animation, Storyboarding, Character Design, and Visual Development. I also specialize in Illustration, where I aim to tell stories in creative ways.

Outside of animation, I’m passionate about music and film. I’ve been playing piano since I was a child, and I often try to find spare time to experiment with my style. I’ve been inspired by works like Howl’s Moving Castle and The Lion King, which create heartfelt stories through beautiful visuals. Connecting with my audience is something I constantly strive for, so I approach every project with a strong passion for creative storytelling.
