Hi, my name is Esther Naa Acheawa Odaakai Aryeetey — I go by Esther Aryeetey.

I'm a Ghanaian Illustrator and 2D Animator currently based in the U.S. I studied Illustration at Parsons School of Design, where I developed a passion for storytelling through character animation, expressive design, and stylized world-building.

My work draws inspiration from real life, fantasy, and traditional pattern motifs. I often blend hand-drawn and digital techniques to bring unique characters and ideas to life. I love immersing myself in creative projects; whether it’s animating a story driven short, designing bold characters, or exploring mood and motion through experimentation.

When I’m not drawing or animating, you’ll likely find me organizing my reference boards, watching animated films, or sketching ideas that may or may not become my next obsession.

I’m currently open to freelance and studio roles in 2D animation and character design. Let’s connect!
