About Me
UPDATED / MARCH 2025
Hi, I’m Lea Carosella, but you might know me as my online alias, Toon Ruins. I’m a passionate video editor and digital media specialist with a deep love for animation and a commitment to social justice. Over the past decade, I've built a vibrant online community of over 150,000 subscribers on YouTube and 15,000 followers on Twitter, where I share my creative journey and advocate for meaningful causes and stories.
I hold an Associate’s Degree in Digital Media from the Northwestern Connecticut Community College art program, which I completed in May 2019. My professional experience includes working as an Assistant Editor and later a Junior Editor at Xpedition Media, where I contributed to brand films for YouTube and edited internal videos for Google. I also had the privilege of working at Skybound Entertainment on the Emmy-nominated series Invincible for Amazon Prime Video as an Assistant Animatic Editor.
I'm currently freelancing and on the lookout for my next full-time opportunity. I’m excited to utilize my existing skills while also expanding my expertise in a dynamic work environment. Thank you for visiting my website! If you’d like to connect or discuss job opportunities, you can find my contact information and social media links on my contact page. Let’s collaborate and create something impactful together!
