Available to hire
I’m Brit Kohls, a seasoned character animator and rigger with a passion for bringing stylized and realistic characters to life for film and video projects. I specialize in building flexible, animator-friendly rigs and delivering polished keyframe animation from layout to final, with a strong foundation in animation principles, timing, spacing, arcs, and performance.
I enjoy collaborating remotely, taking direction, and maintaining clear communication across the full project lifecycle. I’m seeking a flexible, part-time contract role on a personal filmmaking project where I can contribute both technical rigging expertise and expressive character performance.
