THE ART OF
Celeste Jamneck
Foreword
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do—whether through character design, storyboards, or directing. From crafting original characters to directing The Soloists (Annie Award-winning, BAFTA-nominated), my journey has taken me across animation, from Disney+ productions to mentoring artists at SCAD Atlanta.
This collection is a look into my creative process—the characters, moments, and ideas that shape my work. Here’s to the adventure ahead.

My Character Design Portfolio
(a work in progress)
Character design has always been my greatest passion—crafting personalities, exploring shapes, and bringing stories to life through expressive, memorable silhouettes. With years of experience in animation, games, and illustration, I strive to create characters that feel rich with history and purpose. My work is deeply inspired by fantasy, folklore, and mythology, blending stylization with storytelling. This portfolio is a work in progress as I refine my art and develop my website—check back for updates as I continue to explore and expand my designs!
