Hi! I’m Ash (Aysenur), an Experimental Animation student in my final year at OCAD University. I enjoy exploring different mediums and approaches to animation, blending narrative, visual experimentation, and conceptual ideas.

 

My projects often revolve around themes of perception, time, and inner experiences, with a focus on creating works that challenge and engage audiences in new ways.

EDUCATION

Focused on experimental filmmaking and animation using mixed techniques such as paint-on-glass, 2D hand-drawn, 3D, and compositing. Worked across VR, XR, and mixed-media projects while also learning coding for interactive art. Exhibited 2 of my final animations and performance-based works in two consecutive Year-End Student Exhibitions.

Completed an intensive program focused on gesture, character emotion, and narrative timing. Worked closely with teachers who are active professionals in the animation industry and had the chance to learn directly from their experience.

Attended this program as an exchange student during my third year at OCAD University. Completed an intensive one-year program focused on strengthening technical fundamentals in storyboarding, layout, character design, and acting, while gaining hands-on experience with professional production workflows. Graduated with Most Improved Student Award

Learned the essentials of life drawing, character design, digital painting, layout, background design, and communication skills. This program was my first step into the world of animation and helped me build a strong creative foundation. Graduated with the Dean’s Honours List.
