An animator and science enthusiast, Jessika Raisor is finishing up her senior year at Columbus College of Art & Design. She does work in medical and natural illustration and her work aims towards kids education and general science communication. Her art isn’t strictly two dimensional though, she also creates and animates in VR as well. She currently works occasionally with the youtube channel MinuteEarth illustrating videos and is also a Psyche Inspired intern where she will be creating artwork for the Psyche Space Mission.

Jessika’s game interests vary wildly but her favorites are often sims of some sort (of course including the classic The Sims titles). Her absolute favorite though is Portal 2 and she proudly owns a 1:1 replica portal gun.
