Hi there! I’m Jeffery Jessie Kingsley, a mixed-media animator and storyboard artist based in Toronto. I love turning ideas into clear, dynamic storyboards and character designs for animation and indie comics. I’m proficient with 2D animation, FX, and I use Toon Boom Harmony, Storyboard Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator to bring stories to life. I’ve worked as a freelance/volunteer storyboard artist on various projects, including Warrior Cats Animated, and I’ve contributed to preschool series with Brown Bag Media, PC Party commercials, and a final short film where I led storyboard work and rigging. I’m a collaborative, adaptable creator who enjoys learning new techniques and delivering strong visuals on tight timelines.
