Hi there! I’m Jackson Pennington, a second-year college student double majoring in Animation and Development at Ohio University. My journey in animation and design began with a fascination for storytelling and character design. I'm passionate about creating characters and engaging animations that connect with audiences visually, whether that be through hand-drawn 2D animation, rigged 2D animation, character designs, or digital illustrations.

​

Through my studies and work, I've developed a strong foundation in understanding animation, and working with digital and traditional tools. I love experimenting with different stylizations and mediums to see how the audience interacts. I am always seeking new ways to improve and grow as an artist.

​

When I’m not actively animating or illustrating, I can be found practicing 3D animation, watching and studying animated films, or taking videos and pictures for later references in my works. I look forward to growing and working within the animation and design industries, and I can’t wait to learn from collaborating with other creators.
