Amarise DeFranco

Hello all! My name is Amarise Rose-Zhané DeFranco ✦

 

I'm a recent 2025 CalArts Character Animation graduate, born and based in Miami, Florida. I'm an illustrator, designer, and filmmaker with a passion for storytelling.

​I enjoy making emotional, fantasy films that explore the human condition.

​

When not doing art, you can either find me sunbathing at the beach, climbing a tree, or taking an incredible afternoon nap.

​

I'm currently looking for work and am open to relocation.​

Reach out if you think I'd be a good fit for your next project!
