My name is Estelle Sweeney and I am an avid skier and surfer from the mountains of Colorado. I am graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in May of 2023 with a BFA in Cinema Studies and a BA in Art Practices, as well as a minor in business. I enjoy creating a wide variety of things ranging from jewelry, to feature length animation films. I am heavily focused on film with an emphasis in animation and audio reactive visuals. My current projects include selling consignment for clothing stores and a few galleries.
