Hi, I’m Dakota Padron! I go by she/her and I am a artist, illustrator, animator and lover of cartoons. Since I was a child, I’ve been hooked on creating all sorts of characters from my wacky imagination and taking them on vibrant adventures! I’m driven like a mad woman to pursue animation because of my passion for art and deep desire to enrich others’ lives with stories I could tell. I would love the opportunity to work with more amazing talented people like you and show the world my capabilities, vision and voice. I love flowers, alpacas and especially my dog, King! I’m also a fan of many different shows such as Powerpuff Girls, Sailor Moon, Steven Universe Mob Psycho 100 and Mao Mao.

I have experience in both animation and illustration and I’m particularly proficient in using Clip Studio Paint and Toon Boom Harmony. I currently work with Danimation Academy, introducing youths with autism to the animation world and participating in different animated projects (such as Star-crossed Destinies and Parker & Boo).
