About

I am an artist, designer, and animator located in the Portland, Or. area. My passions are telling stories and creating meaningful content, be it through designing compelling designs and characters or engaging interfaces, creating playful illustrations, or bringing stories to life through story boards, animatics, and animation. My BFA in Digital Media from Otis College of Art and Design reflects my strong work ethic, my technical skills, and my knowledge. Goodnight Molly, my award winning film, attests to my creativity and ability to bring a project from initial concept to completion. The experience I gained through in house, freelance work, and my education have strengthened my sense of design, assisted in my continuing growth as an artist, and reinforced my ability to meet deadlines and work under pressure. My portfolio, film, reel, and art blog can be seen at www.juliannemay.com. I am available for freelance and in house work in Oregon, and remote work as well. I previously created work under my maiden name, Julianne Eckert.
