Lorraine Bala is a Multimedia Arts student at Saint Louis University, specializing in graphic design, but currently exploring other art media such as Animation and photography. Ever since she was a child, she has drawn a lot, filling up every page. Then started creating edits using IbisPaint and Phonto, inspired by the edits she saw on social media. She continued her passion until she decided to pursue an art career, a decision that wasn't easy. During the first few years of college, she realized she aspires to tell real-life stories through different art medium, such as Iship Bata, a story about a child in war and how it affected her, told through 2D Animation with her team, Tirahan.
