Hi, I'm Frenchie Marinas, a Storyboard Artist with excellent organization, time management, and a passion for visual storytelling. I thrive in fast-paced production environments, communicating clearly and solving problems by turning ideas into clear, expressive boards. I've built hands-on experience across animation production—from template design and asset management at Warner Bros. and Nickelodeon, and assisting with teaching storyboarding at ArtCenter. I enjoy collaborating with writers, artists, and editors to craft engaging sequences and polished animatics.
