Hello!
I am a Background Painter and Designer for animated TV shows. I have 7+ years of experience working for clients such as Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers, Cartoon Network, Titmouse, and Disney.
I am currently available for full-time work and would love to hear about your project! Please email me at mira@mira-ko.com for any work opportunities.
I moved to Los Angeles from the Washington DC area in 2016 after graduating with a BFA in Illustration. I love many aspects of my job: solving unique problems on a tight schedule, being part of a team that’s inspired to master their craft, and using design to capture the heart of a story.
Outside of work I can be found rock climbing, learning jazz guitar, volunteering with kids, and taking care of kittens.
If you are looking for a Background Painter or Designer, I’d love to get in touch! I’m interested in 2D and CG shows and projects during the development stage.
