About

Hi, I’m Abby Davenport, a passionate animator and film director with a strong background in 2D hand drawn and rig animation. I love bringing stories to life through animation and have experience directing three animated short films, managing my creative teams, and specialize in music related projects. I enjoy collaborating and experimenting with other creatives to make something memorable and lead all of my projects from concept to completion!

Over the years, I’ve worked with various production companies and studios, honing my skills in animation, directing, and visual storytelling. When I’m not animating or directing, I enjoy painting murals and teaching art to kids, allowing me to stay connected to the creative process in different ways.
