Hello!

I’m Ameena, an Animation and VFX Producer by day, and a Freelance Illustrator by night and weekends.

I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada; by my Guyanese mother and Bangladeshi father. I spent my childhood growing up in their restaurant, so I quickly learned to appreciate hard work and great food!

I attended Vancouver Film School, where I graduated with honors from their Traditional Animation program and their Digital Character Animation program.

Shortly after graduating, I worked as a CG artist in Vancouver, BC, on Marvel and Warner Bros films. I then continued my career journey by moving to rainy Manchester, UK to work in Stop Motion for a couple of CBBC and Disney projects. After being away from home for 5 years, I decided to move back to Toronto to be closer to family (and to get away from the rain). In Toronto, I’ve overseen the production of VFX for countless TV series and films over the years. Recently I’ve been an animation producer for a couple of Cartoon Network projects.

I’m currently reconnecting with my creative roots and am starting my author / Illustrator journey. I am actively looking for freelance work and representation as a picture book and middle-grade illustrator.
