Lauren Andrews
Bachelor of Digital Art, Motion Design and Animation.
I'm an alumni of Kendall College of Art and Design since the summer of 2020. I've lived my whole life in Michigan but hope to see the world someday. I love traveling when I have the opportunity and my free time is spent working on my webcomic "Rise: Heroes for Hire".Â
When people describe me they usually use the words, energetic, pensive, and Giver. Animation is what I live and breath and have been caught quietly cheering at my computer when I get a motion just right. Life is a story and I've made it a mission of mine to tell it in as many ways and across as many mediums as I can. Others have labeled my leadership style as leading by example. I'm not one to jump up on stage and start issuing orders but I do my absolute best with everything I do while helping out wherever I can.
What I Provide
Besides a friendly face
Adobe Experience
After Effects, Animate, and Photoshop
I also have experience in Premiere, Illustrator, and InDesign. But I can confidently say that I'm well on my way to mastering After Effects and Photoshop. And if there's anything I don't know I'm skilled in finding a youtube tutorial and learning it within the day.
Sound Design
Jack Of All Trades
All foil in my projects where ever its needed.  I can do voice-overs, background music, and sound effects. GarageBand, Unreal, and Adobe Audition are all programs I dabble with, and the knowledge that with a little fiddling around I could figure out any other program in a weekend if I had to.
Customer Service
Retail Experience
I've worked at two different retail locations in my young career and what I've gathered from those positions is how to handle both happy and angry people. I worked at a Smashburger and Meijer for a little while both involved customer service in one way or another. I've also done commissions for friends, rather picky friends too, so I have an understanding of how creating art for a customer works.
Client Experience
Aim To Please
During my junior and senior year of college I did a lot of freelancing for small companies and Internet personalities. To list a few, I create a series of animations for a twitter personality featuring his characters. He continues to return with more work, I'm still currently working with him. I also created another series of animations for a client looking to inform viewers about his experiences. I've also worked in collaboration with other artists to create multiple different projects over the past year including "Epic Heroes Fight Bias" project, "We the people", and "Neodiversity".
