i am always open to collaborating to help tell your meaningful stories through animation. knowing what kind of people + ideas i want to support + amplify the voices of, i am also down to barter or trade for the opportunity to work together 🧿

please email me to get in touch; hello@palwashaazimi.com <3

i grew up in the middle of the midwest, where i studied graphic design + graduated in 2011. during my studies and while freelancing, my love for animation blossomed + took me on another path of study to rochester, ny. graduating with a master’s in animation in 2019 led me to be able to work with some wonderful people in new york state; including the rochester cocktail festival + fundraising for rwcfusa with @srfus. i have also been so grateful to be able to help with a local community garden in rochester + connect with communities all over the world including panimation.tv + lxia + women in animation.

since 2021, i have been living in los angeles. in my spare time, i love to read comic books + web comics (currently keeping up with lore olympus), chill on my balcony + play animal xing, dye my hair + refurbish things with my hands.

i am freelancing and i have been getting back into block-printing my own stationery by hand and making little comics + zines to reconnect with my heritage. lately, i have been collaborating with a documentarian + volunteering my time at a queer art studio helping out the instructors with printmaking classes of all kinds. once in a while my internet does work + i can stream + share the process on twitch + my patreon.
