About Me
Keepin’ it REAL profesh since 2010.
Oh hey there! I am Salena Mahina, a multi-disciplinary designer, passionate about Graphic Design, 3D Modeling, systems/organization, and just really learning new things. I have a Bachelor of Arts in both Graphic Design and Public Relations, a Master of Fine Arts in Animation (when I say I love to learn, I mean it!), about 15 years of Design experience, and about 13 years of 3D modeling experience.
Whether it be in 2D or 3D, I’m always looking for opportunities to stretch my legs and work on some fun projects. There are times when you can learn too much, but when it comes to your craft? No such thing.
Take a look around and reach out if you’d like to work together!
WHEN I DO, WHAT I DO, WHEN I DO, WHAT I DO…😊
DESIGN
Throughout my pixel pushin career, I’ve worked as an in-house Designer for companies like Marvel Entertainment/Disney and Scholastic, but I’ve also worked on licensing projects with other brands like Universal, Dreamworks, Toei Animation, Nickelodeon, and WB. I’ve had the pleasure of working on 100’s of titles across a variety of formats and age ranges. And Every. Single. Thing. I’ve learned on each project has always come in handy somewhere else down the line.
3D ART
While I’ve spent most of my career working as a Designer, I’ve also been fostering my love for 3D Art on the side — more specifically prop/character modeling, environment design, prop animation, and visual development. 3D Art is something that was self-taught and has continued to be incredibly satisfying as I continue to learn more. Most recently, I used my skills to model a necklace charm add-on for a children’s book!
Talk about transferable skills, eh?
