Hi, I'm Maya Fountain. I'm a multimedia animator and illustrator with a BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. I'm passionate about 2D animation, storyboarding, and visual development, and I love collaborating with teams to translate bold concepts into vivid visuals. I enjoy leading projects, refining animation from script to screen, and exploring design directions that punch up storytelling. My work spans independent films, commissioned animation, and personal projects like The Grass Wall Series and Speechless.
