Throughout my years creating art I have had to wear many hats. I've dipped my toe into character design, storyboarding, animating, and even directing films of my own. While my main tools are typically Toonboom Harmony and Storyboard Pro, I've used many programs professionally including the Adobe Creative Suite. I love working amongst fellow creatives and making art. Let's make movie magic!…My name is Archer Navas, but my friends call me Archie!
