Hello there :)
yanaemilova.art@gmail.com
I’m Yana, an animation designer from Bulgaria. I’m currently based in sunny Edinburgh, Scotland. I have the right to work in the UK and EU.
Animation has been my guiding light for as long as I can remember. It has taught me new languages, inspired me to learn about the world around me, and showed me the connecting power of story.
As an artist, I’m passionate about creating story-driven characters that immerse us in unexpected worlds, be they realistic or fantastical.
My main inspirations come from the real world and I spend every free moment on observational and life drawing. When my hands need to rest, I’m worming my way through a book, attending workshops, writing scripts for my personal projects, or feeding birds.
