Hailing from Seattle, Washington, Orion Hunter is a creative soul with a mind for character design. She works with many traditional illustration techniques, from watercolor to colored pencil, and has taken those skills into the world of animation. Coming from a creative writing background, Orion is interested in animation as it pertains to storytelling, envisioning her animated characters speaking to children or any audience with an active imagination. She is currently exploring experimental making methods, such as hand-drawn articulated-paper puppets, and leaning into 2D computer animation as an avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
