About Me

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

My name is Melissa Murphy, and I am a senior level CG layout artist, animator, digital designer, and storyteller working in sunny Los Angeles. A lover of all things entertainment, I am on an unrelenting quest to turn dreams into reality!

I stem from a diverse digital artistic background that has led me down a unique path in the entertainment industry. From creating graphics and animations for live theme park shows and attractions, to visualizing and animating on feature films and television, I love being able to bring a unique voice, charismatic spirit, and love for the arts into each project I touch!

It's easy to say that my biggest passion is entertaining others and telling stories. It's my hope that I can continue to work with individuals who dream just as big as I do!

The rigorous challenge of creating CG models and assets, to rigging and rendering, has long been a calling card and a big part in developing my broad set of artistic skills.
