I’m Rowen Mijares Pingkian, a storyboard and animatic artist who loves turning stories into clear visual plans—from first panels to production-ready boards. I’m skilled in key background and character design, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to refine scenes, pacing, and visual continuity for TV series and feature-style projects. I’ve supervised and supported layout and background work for long-form animation (including an 11-minute TV series across 52 episodes), and I also work on storyboard revisions, key backgrounds, and 2D animation (traditional or paperless) for both kids’ and animated storytelling projects. I’m excited to bring my experience, attention to detail, and new ideas to a reputable studio—anywhere my skills can help shape great animation.…I’m Rowen Mijares Pingkian, a storyboard and animatic artist who loves turning stories into clear visual plans—from first panels to production-ready boards.
