Hi, I’m Shirley! Also known as Hisakagami (Hisa鏡)
I’m a Visual Development Artist & Compositor with a passion for storytelling and worldbuilding.
I love crafting immersive visuals that bring stories to life, whether through dynamic compositions, rich environments, or compelling character moments. With a background in both visual development and compositing, I thrive at blending artistic vision with technical precision to create engaging narratives.
Beyond my work, I’m a dedicated DM/Keeper for TRPGs and a board game enthusiast. I enjoy weaving intricate tales for my players, creating TRPG replays, and making animated music videos just for fun. Whether it's through art or storytelling, I’m always looking for new ways to spark imagination and bring ideas to life!
I am currently looking for full-time and freelance opportunities—feel free to contact me! 🚀
