  • Role: Technical Lead

Annabel is a 3D Artist currently residing in California. She became fascinated with gaming and the digital world at a young age as it allowed her to express herself creatively. She is Co-Art Director and Environment artist for a small indie game called Magic Trick. When she’s not behind a computer screen you can find her out in nature tending to her carnivorous plants. Annabel started with the Afro Hair Library in 2019 as an undergraduate researcher in the Art + Design: Games and Playable Media program at UC Santa Cruz. Working with Professor A.M. Darke through residencies at The Other Lab and The Open Source Afro Hair Library, Annabel has in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of rendering afro-textured hair in contemporary 3D graphics platforms. Currently, Annabel leads quality control and management of 3D assets and writes technical documentation to support the Afro Hair Library.
