Hire the Best Illustrators in Buffalo, NY

"Working with Patricia was the best experience in my two years on Upwork. Her quality of work and communication skills are nothing short of superb. Every aspect of my project was addressed and many ideas created by Patricia herself. She is extremely creative and gifted. I owe much of my business success to her. I cannot recommend any higher." "Patricia brought my project to life! Excellent communication. 100% on schedule. Highly recommend. Will definitely work with Patricia again in the future!" The above is just a glimpse into feedback from my clients and the experience I provide for them. I do this work because I love it. I will always get back to you the same day. I try to get back to you within minutes of a request. I work evenings, weekends, and overnight to accommodate tight schedules. My job is to make the completion of your project as easy and pleasant as possible. My motto is "The job is done when you love it." I am your one stop shop for any kind of 2D animation. A music video I animated won "Best Animation" in the Golden Harvest Film Festival in Tokyo and another was a semi-finalist for Best Music Video in the LA Independent Women Film Awards. I work in Adobe Animate, After Effect, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator and Character Animator. I have my BFA in Fine Art, and although I primarily do animation now, I started out as an illustrator and graphic designer. My first job was doing photo-editing and trade show graphics. So, if you find your company needs photo-editing, design or illustration, I can help you with that as well. I am also a professional musician. I use Adobe Audition to edit my audio tracks. I compose, record, and perform, so if you need music added or audio edited for your animation, I do that as well. I have done corporate and tech company animations, infographic animations, Youtube intro animations, Facebook, Instagram and Google Chrome GIF and html/js animations, animated logos, photorealism animations, and cartoon animations. If you want it animated, you've come to the right place. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on your next project.

Hi! I’m Janet, a graphic designer and digital illustrator currently earning my BFA at Villa Maria College. I love using visual storytelling to help people and brands reach their goals. I am highly skilled in the Adobe Creative Suite, especially InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, as well as Canva and ProCreate. Whether you need a professional layout for an ad, a custom digital character, or a cohesive brand look, I focus on making things that are both beautiful and effective. I take a lot of pride in my work, and I was honored to win 3rd Place in the AAF Buffalo Don Nichols Scholarship Competition in early 2025. Beyond the creative side, I have a strong background in organization and management from my time at the Hunt Art Gallery. As an administrative intern there, I helped set up exhibitions, managed inventory, and created engaging content for social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. This experience taught me how to handle projects independently and always meet my deadlines. I am a quick problem solver who believes that clear, friendly communication is the key to a successful project. I make it a priority to listen to your needs and make sure you are happy with every step of the process. My skills also include web design using Wix and professional audio work. I have experience managing audio equipment and software to produce high quality recordings, which I use to provide clear and professional voice work for various projects. Because of this mix of skills, I can help with a wide variety of tasks, from building a portfolio website to creating multimedia content with polished audio editing in BandLab and GarageBand. I also have experience in public speaking, which helps me deliver engaging voiceovers and add a unique touch to the projects I work on. I enjoy being a well rounded partner for my clients and bringing a professional yet easygoing energy to our collaboration. I truly believe that great design should be simple, effective, and fun. My goal is to take the stress out of your creative projects by handling the technical details so we can focus on your big ideas. Whether I am drawing a custom illustration, designing an advertisement, or providing a voice recording, I bring a mix of passion and reliability to everything I do. I am a lifelong maker who is always excited to learn something new and find fresh ways to help my clients stand out. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life with a professional touch and a friendly smile. I want to make sure your experience is as smooth as possible from start to finish. I am very comfortable with feedback and always strive to make sure the final result perfectly matches what you had in mind. From my professional experience in art galleries to my hands on academic projects, I have always been driven by a desire to communicate ideas clearly and kindly. I bring that same dedication to every job on Upwork. I look forward to hearing about your project and figuring out how we can create something amazing together!
