Hello, thanks for visiting my website :)
 

I am Zixin (pronunciation like bee flying, 'zzzzzz', then, 'shin') Yang

​

—or you can just call me Kara ;)

​

I am an animator, 3D generalist, Designer, and storyteller, focusing on emotionally driven, personal narratives. My work blends 3D animation with mixed media, like stop-motion animation and subtle visual poetry, to explore memory, love, and the invisible threads between people.

​

With a background in sculpture and story writing, I approach animation as a form of emotional truth-telling. My work often centers on small gestures, quiet moments, and the complexity of our tenderness.

​

Outside of work, I love playing with mud, clay, and burning glass, collecting acorns, and building Gundam models. I’m also a big Broadway fan and a gamer. I enjoy hiking and searching for haunted-looking places — sometimes it’s just a tree trunk. I love cooking, running my fingers through my partner’s hair, and feeling the real connection between two souls… and textures.
