Dayanara Brooks

Dayanara Brooks was born and raised in uptown Manhattan, New York City. Daya is a senior currently attending a high school in the Bronx and has been progressing quickly on her journey to become an established animator and aspiring manga artist. Having interned for CAW last March, she has been hard at work at her first paid job for the animated storytelling block of Youth Apprentices. When Daya is not illustrating on clip studio she spends most of her free time thinking up and writing her own stories and characters. Her mind is always active when it comes to thinking of new abstract ideas. She is always eager to learn and improve on her skillset, always shaping the canvas that is her future.
