Hey there! I'm Grace Blanchard, a computer animation major at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. I grew up on Long Island, New York, where I was always juggling activities. From tennis to pit orchestra and more AP classes than I can count. But no matter what I tried, I always returned to art, it's been woven into my life from the start. 

​

For me, storytelling has incredible power. It can bring people together, make them feel seen, or just offer a much-needed escape. That's what drew me to animation, it's this wide-reaching medium that can inspire, comfort, and connect people in truly unique ways. I hope to create something that resonates with people in the same way one day and Animation felt like the perfect path to make that dream a reality.

​

When I'm not glued to a project, you can find me hanging out with my family, hitting the slopes in winter, or getting dragged outdoors by my friends, camping under the stars in the summer (though I'll always have a soft spot for my screen).
