Hi, I’m Anna Helfer!

Anna Helfer is a highly motivated motion graphics animator, eager to bring patrons’ ideas to life with creativity and care. Before attending college at Point Park University, Anna was a self-taught traditional artist whose passion for art and love for computers led her to pursue animation. While attending university, Anna had the opportunity to intern with the Pittsburgh Penguins during her sophomore year; seeing the energetic graphics that she made being displayed on the Jumbotron inspired her, solidifying her decision to specialize in motion graphics. 

During the summers in between university, she worked with a local non-profit back in her hometown as a graphic designer, helping to bring their creative visions to life and revamp outdated works. In the spring of 2026, Anna graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Animation & Visual Effects. Anna enjoys spending her free time playing instruments, listening to rock music, and baking extravagant desserts. Anna is available for motion graphics projects and can be reached at annamhelfer@gmail.com
