I have had the opportunity to work for marketing and animation studios. My experience includes creating vector assets, 2D/3D animation, storyboard development, and concept art creation. I’ve worked as a Production Manager/Senior Animator with Splainers, Inc. for five years. During that time, I transitioned from Senior Animator to Production Manager at my current job. With my experience as an Art Director, I could reorganize and execute a more agile production pipeline. This, in turn, helped to ease OT burdens on the creative team and gave greater transparency. Team members know their daily milestones and deadlines, which has helped keep budgets more manageable.
