Anabella Orellana is an illustrator breaking out of her comfort zone into the fields of product and communications design. She’s currently an undergraduate student at Parsons School of Design.
Prior to university, she was a student at the High School of Art and Design with a focus in illustration. She was introduced to Adobe platforms and gained skills in 2D art. Her love for mixed media only grew as she started to discover her style. She strived to make her pieces realistic with strong narrative connotations. Everything was to be measured accurately and withhold purpose. These elements became an important part in everything she created and they continue to be a signature aspect to her digital, product and 3D design work.
Anabella is currently employed by Equity For Children through The New School Federal Work Study. She takes on the position of Communications Assistant and was recently named the Translation Manager as well. Her social media expertise and Spanish fluency cater to keeping the administration organized and being of assistance when necessary. This job has also allowed her to embrace her growing design skills.
As a sophomore attending The New School, Anabella has become more proficient in design. Through mastering Adobe and hands on training in wood-shop, laser-cutting and 3D printing; as well as fusion 360, solid works, and blender 3D platforms, she continues to challenge herself. Her dedication to creating and learning new ways to create would be an excellent asset to a range of businesses. Most importantly, she offers her devoted passion in arts and design.
