My name is Andrew Kapele. I am a digital artist based in the bay area of California. I graduated from the University of Silicon Valley (formerly known as Cogswell Polytechnical College) with a BA in Digital Art and Animation. My main strengths are 3D Modeling and Texturing, but I still have a very strong foundation in design, illustration, and storyboarding. My software toolbelt is comprised of both 2D and 3D software. Using Maya and Zbrush for modeling, Substance painter and Photoshop for texturing, and a combination of 2D and 3D software for concepts and illustrations.

​

My passions are storytelling, worldbuilding, and community. My favorite projects to work on have always been collaborative. Something about being a part of a group of different people, with different perspectives and backgrounds, working together to tell a story, really fuels me creatively. In todays climate, it is my goal to work with others to tell stories, make art, and inspire people to understand both my story and the stories of others to sew division and help find common understandings, so that we bring communities closer together.
