Yulia Zhevakina

In 5 to 10 years- to run my own animation studio, short term, to be an illustrator or animator in animation/film production company.

In primary school I was really impressed by a story trope where a protagonist unlocks a secret miraculous world. For example, in one story it was magical paintings which were in fact portals. That gave me a vague idea I wanted to be a creator who brings magic to the audience. As a teen, I was already confident about this desire, because I painted a lot of portraits and realized I wanted subjects of my art to be characters and to go beyond still images.
