Hayden Caico is a character designer and visual development artist from New Jersey. She is a recent graduate from University of the Arts (R.I.P.) with a BFA in Animation. Growing up, she spent a lot of time writing, collaging, and sketching to make sense of the world around her. She is passionate about utilizing visual storytelling as a lens to reflect on the human experience, and to celebrate the beauty of this confusing and wonderful existence. 

She often finds inspiration in the people she meets, nature, surrealism, and folk art. 

When she’s not working, you can find her tending to her plants, checking out books at the local library, and trying to telepathically befriend every dog she sees.
