Hi! I’m Calaya Claassen, an illustrator, surface designer, and toy designer currently based in Savannah, GA.With a passion for creating colorful, playful, and imaginative worlds, I focus on developing artwork that captures attention and sparks joy. This applies to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds. My approach is deeply rooted in the belief that artworks should spark the imagination of their observer, and that every artwork carries a piece of the artists that made it.From early concept sketches to polished illustrations or models, I excel at finding a unique approach or perspective to the problem at hand, which aids my path to a creative yet efficient solution. Especially when crafting figures, my goal is to deliver characters that are memorable and exciting, and that get the viewers imagination going. I also believe that all aspects of a design are equally as important, and highly value attention to detail and quality, which is strongly reflected in my work.Through my projects and creative endeavours I have obtained a broad skillset, including skills in different illustration markets, product design, graphic design, packaging design, and advertising & branding. This goes hand-in-hand with my knowledge on different programs and media as well! :)Join me in putting a little spark of joy in every line!
