About Me

I’m Daniela Henao Ortiz, a Colombian digital artist and animation student based in Germany. I work across 2D and 3D animation, with a particular focus on character animation, rigging, editing, and narrative development.

My practice centres on atmospheric visual storytelling, emotionally driven narratives, and the relationship between characters and the worlds they inhabit. I combine animation, writing, editing, and technical production to develop personal films, collaborative projects, and selected client work.

I am currently developing Blaz, an adult animated cyberpunk psychological thriller intended as a feature-length film. A complete shorter screenplay version currently serves as the narrative foundation for the project, while feature development, worldbuilding, visual development, production planning, and team building continue.

Alongside the feature, I am planning a short 3D proof of concept to explore the film’s visual language, character animation, mechanical design, and production approach.

I am open to freelance work and selected collaborations related to 2D and 3D animation, character animation, rigging, video editing, visual storytelling, and narrative development.

Tools: Autodesk Maya, Blender, Photoshop, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve.
