My Mission
I, Ayana Ball, am dedicated to making the world a brighter and happier place, one concept drawing at a time. My mission is to create visually stunning projects that bring characters to life and ignite the imagination of audiences of all ages. I believe that every character has a story to tell, and my passion for character design and animation helps bring these stories to life. Please take a look at my resume and see what I’ve been up to!
