A bit about me
I'm Alyssa Mesa, a three-time Emmy-nominated senior motion designer with 8+ years of experience.
I work for The Drew Barrymore Show in New York, working remotely from Los Angeles and open to freelance and new opportunities.
Designer and animator in both 2D and 3D.
I have two AA degrees, one in Graphic Design and one in Fine Arts. I fell in love with the anatomy of typefaces but was hungry for more! I got my BA in Motion Design from Otis College. With Motion Design, the possibilities feel endless.
Nice to meet you.

Bonus About Me content
A bit more about me as a person-
I don't believe in having too much of an ego in this business.
It's about what the team can create and, despite bringing my expertise to the table,
the client ultimately knows what they need better than anyone.
Something I learned during my time as a Wendy's shift manager-
They ingrained the saying "just give them the pickle."
I grew up doodling in Photoshop almost as much
as on paper, hanging out at my mother's office as she set type on movie posters.
Working hard was something I learned as a kid from the women in my life,
as I would do office assistant work at my grandma's small business;
occasionally getting paid in toys.
In the early 00's,
my cousins and I would make movies and music videos with our camcorder.
Great concepts like Rats in the Attic, Tuggy the Tugboat, and its sequel Tuggy 2,
along with a stop-motion rendition of the scene in Castaway when he loses Wilson.
Really emotional stuff.
Core motivation: Make the world a better place for my two daughters through hard work
and setting an example by helping wherever and whenever I can.
