Meet the Instructor ...
Angelica Petersen
As a high school student focused on biotechnology, I had no idea that I could have a job designing products, websites or creating illustrations. As I began to explore more of the design industry, I realized how much I LOVED graphic design (with interior design as a close second). Then I discovered the animation industry and my gosh, my world got even bigger! I loved story boarding for some time before discovering concept art - preproduction illustrations that bring a director’s vision to life. The imaginative component of this role and the tight knit community it came with has only drawn me deeper since discovering it a year ago. I hope to continue to develop these concept art skills to eventually become a senior concept artist later in life.

I am a student at Laguna College of Art and Design working on a BFA in Experimental Animation with a Creative Writing Minor! My passion for storytelling has given me a love for storyboarding and script writing. In the past few years, I have written and produced two student short films "Made With Love" and "Teatime," and the stage play "By the Book" which was performed for live audiences. I am currently working as a background artist on the student film "Shattered" and as a concept artist for the story-based video game "Office Quest." I am also in the beginning phases of production for my own short film that will be made over the next year and a half.
Outside of school, I work as a Social Media Designer for Succulent Coffee Roasters, a Graphic Designer and Children's Book Colorist for Faux Paw Petique, and as Student Government Representative for the Experimental Animation major. I look forward to meeting you this summer!
