Duolingo

In House

 

Here’s a collection of projects I’ve done with my pals over at Duolingo In House.

I’ve worked with them in a whole bunch of capacities, including concepting, illustration, and animation.

Here you’ll see finished pieces, some BTS stuff, and little bips and bops that I’ve made along the way.

this spinning duo was made for DuoCon 2022. Art by Jay Quercia.

Duolingo MAX

I was brought on to take this one from concept to completion. I worked alongside Dana on boarding and concepting, then helped illustrate, and animate. To give MAX a super smooth look, all the cel clean-up was done in After Effects.
