About me

Heron Cheung is a 2D animator and illustrator with a Bachelor’s in Media Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design based in Burnaby, BC. She is a passionate storyteller for exciting narratives of mortality, resistance and tragedy. While having majored in animation, Heron would not have pursued a career in art if not for her passion for character based illustration and design. She is most in her element when it comes to dark designs that incorporate fun weaponry, with backgrounds rich in culture.
