Carmen Yuen

Carmen Yuen is a Chinese-Canadian game artist and animator based in Toronto. Due to her excitement and love for playing games, she decided to pursue gaming creation. Carmen’s work and practice explores pixel art, game art, concept design and 2D animation. Her work often combines elements of fantasy with personal life experiences.

In 2022, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from OCAD University’s Drawing and Painting: Expanded Animation program. In 2021, she was awarded the Peer Mentor Excellence award for her active participation as a peer mentor in the school community. 

Her recent work, My Reflection, aims to act as a reminder for students, the importance of maintaining one’s health during stressful times.

Carmen strives to become more involved in the gaming industry to engage more audiences in interactive stories inspired by the world around her.
