Hey There!

My name is Amiel and I'm a multimedia artist based in Burbank, CA.

I freelance as a Storyboard Artist for live-action and animated productions and serve as the Director of Membership at Asians in Animation.

I am currently a full-time Photo Editor at Artkive while moonlighting for the Vanity Portrait Studio, live editing at high-end, corporate, and film industry events.

Additionally, I have previously freelanced as a videographer, video editor, and commercial production assistant.
