New York based illustrator Rachel Ryle (@rachelryle) began posting animated videos on Instagram two years ago. “Something which started as a hobby would so quickly change the course of my life! Within 2 months of creating my first animation I quit my day job and turned illustrating & animating into my full time career! Since my first piece, “Make Something & Grow,” I have made 162 animations!” recalls Ryle.
Each of her videos collects tens of thousands “likes.” Her account @rachelryle was recommended by MTV and BuzzFeed.
