I am Lotta, a brilliant character animator with 4 years of studio experience. I have worked on preschool tv-series for clients, such as Sesame Workshop, Channel 5, and most previously for Nickelodeon. I believe that I was born to be a theatre kid, but got destined to shake like a leaf on stage, so I channel that passion for acting and stories in to my animation. I have a background in performing arts (dance and theatre) as well as great experience with drawing and body mechanics. As a person I am outgoing, keen to learn, and well organised. I have always aimed to help where I can, and do my best to understand the roles of other departments in the pipelines. This also helps me to manage myself in a way that supports the other departments, streamlining the pipeline.
