Hi!
I am Nataliia Gaida, Ukrainian illustrator, storyboard and visual development artist.
As an illustrator, I worked with big publishing houses in Ukraine and abroad. Books that I illustrated were published in China, Belarus, Ukraine, and the USA.
In 2018 I won the Fulbright scholarship to fulfill my childhood dream - became a visual artist in animation and games. Got my MFA Animation at Savannah College of Art and Design, USA (GA) at 2020.

I mainly think of myself as of the generalist. My favorite stage in animation production is pre-production. I love to do storyboarding and character designs, but also have a big interest in sculpting and modeling.
I love to be involved in the process of creation. I love to learn new things.
I believe, that the most important part of any piece of art is the story and the passion you put into that.
