Hello! Mabuhay!

I am Celeste Esguerra, a visual development artist from South San Francisco. Currently, I am a student at SJSU’s Animation/Illustration BFA program and plan to graduate next May (2027).

I aspire to work in feature film animation with a focus on Character Design. Studying from the works of character artists like Glen Keane and Nico Marlet, who are masters of shape language, I aim to apply my knowledge of acting and gesture to illustration. Additionally, I am interested in exploring artistic jobs for music videos, children’s books and toys!

Outside of animation, I love to musical theatre. My favorite show at the moment is Hadestown. I hope to perform again in the future! For now, I love editing vlogs, free style rapping with my friends, and practicing guitar.
