Jayden Swann

Hello! I’m Jayden.

I often describe myself as a story-teller, expert baker, and astute film critic, but most people I know would call me a digital artist.

My insatiable curiosity for digital art began over a decade ago when I tried editing video in Windows Movie Maker on my very old, very loud, and very red HP Laptop. Despite the limitations, I became fascinated with all the different ways you could tell a story in a digital format.

Since then, through my education and personal exploration, I have become proficient in 2D and 3D animation, graphic design, and, of course, videography.

My process has been defined by years of reading and writing, always tackling a new project “Story First”. I have found that a work without a story is most often a work without a purpose, which is why pre-production is the most valuable step in any project I work on.
