Hi! I'm Faye, a 2D animator and illustrator with A LOT of commercial and freelance animation experience. My most recent commercial project was as a timing animator on the Hulu reboot of FUTURAMA (seasons 11 and 12). My most recent freelance project is a 2D children's show that I designed and animated for the non-profit "The Gulf Reach Institute" and NOAA. It was created to educate kids about the science behind coral research and restoration, and I worked really hard on it with a small production team for three years to finish it! Now all three episodes are playing in science classes around the country. I have plenty of animation, illustration, and marketing experience to help get your project out of pre-production and through to the final product!…
