Hi there!

My name is Diana Jordan and I am a freelance illustrator based in New York City. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2018 with a BFA in Computer Art, Animation, and Visual Effects. I specialize in children's illustration for books and editorials and do 2D animation on the side. I have working experience as a graphic designer for a promotional products company.

I enjoy creating charming characters and heart-warming, nostalgic scenes that remind me of my childhood spent in New Jersey. My work is inspired by science, nature, and the people around me. I mainly work digitally, but I also enjoy playing with watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil. I’m formally trained in 3D animation and can do 2D animation for GIFs and loops. I also would love to explore character design and visual development for a story, Please feel free to contact me about exciting work opportunities and projects, big or small!
