Hello, my name is Sierra Gudim. I'm a 2D animator born in Chicago and raised in Ohio. Even from a young age, animation has been important to me. It has been a way for me to communicate with people and grow connections. Watching cartoons as a kid helped me form a deeper relationship with my parents, so I aim to make animations that families can watch together and relate to. I want to make animations that can start conversations with peers that turn into friendships.

​

I specialize in 2D effects, puppet rigging, puppet animation, and cleanup. I can traditionally animate as well. Fire and water are my favorite effects to animate. Making puppet rigs takes time, but seeing the finished puppet after all the hard work is always fun. Cleanup allows me to see the true potential of the animation.
