MARIA LAURA NAVEDA
CARTOONIST | 3D ARTIST | GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Hello, my name is Maria Laura, and I'm originally from Venezuela, but I live in Saint Cloud, Florida. Without even realizing it, I've been in this field for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, I've been a fan of Crash Bandicoot, and that's how I've been exposed to the world of 3D, especially in cartooning. I've collaborated on various projects, especially in the 3D and graphic design areas. I'm very passionate about my work and the arts; I love illustration. Working in this industry is like being a child forever, where I can freely draw, tell stories, and most importantly, inspire others to dream when they see my work. Inspiring is my ultimate goal, while I'll always be learning because knowledge will always be infinite.
