Hagit Damto- Studio Manager, Art Teacher

Hagit was born and raised in Israel. At a young age, she discovered her artistic skills while sketching characters from her favorite cartoon series. Growing up, art programs weren’t available to her in school as a model of encouragement, so for a while, it was just something to do in her spare time

In addition to having a traditional background in art, she specializes in 3D modeling, character design, and concept art.  She brings to the studio The Art of Making Visual Magic - a model she designed which brings life to the characters, stories, and fantasies. Her life purpose is to make people laugh, cry, use their imagination, surprise themselves, and be entertained.
