Illustration ✏ Animation ✂ Edit ☁
Hi, I'm..
Mangoguacamole, but people call me Hanna Lea.
I’m a Swiss-Japanese animator, illustrator and editor based in Zürich, Switzerland.
I've received my degree in Character Animation and Animation Production from VanArts and Arts University Bournemouth.
From animating Donald Duck to motion design for reinsurance, my life is filled with plot twists!
I work across themes and styles, guided by mood, memory and metaphor. From portraiture to food to animation, my work explores quiet emotions, everyday beauty, and the surreal in the familiar.
