Hello!
My name is Doménica Basantes, and I am Motion Media student at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD). I live in Savannah, but was born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I am very curious, and am always looking forward to learn new things, at the moment I’ve been very interested on learning UX Design as well..
In my gap year, I learned photography basics and I’ve been keeping photography as a side hobby, tool and freelance job since then, I also enjoy creating my own live action footage and documenting. Throughout my journey at SCAD I had the opportunity discover I had passions for different disciplines and decided to become a Motion Media Designer as this would allow me to apply those skills in my work, I couldn’t be more happy to merge so many art forms in a way and become a professional in something I genuinely enjoy!
Beyond visual arts, I also like playing the guitar, watching TV shows, running, listening to music, hanging out with my friends, and making coffee. I usually get random inspiration when I am distracted doing those things and try to keep track of my Ideas for further concept developments. Last but not least to mention, I’ve been trying my best to reduce my environmental footprint and I’ve been following a vegan diet since 12 /19 !
