About

Hi, I’m Rachel B. Sacks, an animator and storyboard artist blending storytelling with visual design. I hold an MFA in Emerging Media from the University of Central Florida and a B.S. in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin, and I’ve built a practice creating 2D animation, storyboards, and character design for teams and independent projects. My hands-on experience ranges from teaching and mentoring students to delivering fully realized animations, backgrounds, and group shorts with a collaborative mindset.

I thrive on multi-disciplinary teamwork, from concept through final polish, and I’m passionate about helping ideas come to life through clear visuals, thoughtful pacing, and inclusive spaces for learners of all backgrounds.
