Hi there! I’m Isabella Shannon, a passionate animator and illustrator who loves telling stories through bold visuals and expressive characters. I currently lead animation work at Moxie Box, guiding projects from concept to final render, crafting storyboards, and bringing scenes to life in 2D animation. I enjoy collaborating closely with clients to refine visual direction and meet tight deadlines. I’ve published Wings to Soar with Charlesbridge Publishing and completed multiple contracted art and design projects between 2022-2025. I’m energized by cross-disciplinary collaboration—whether in picture books, short films, or graphic novels—and I’m always eager to learn and grow as an artist and a teammate.
