Hi there! I’m Nathan Palm, a 2D animator and character designer who loves crafting expressive characters and clear storytelling through pose, layout, and design. I’ve collaborated with studios like Green Portal, Fox Animation, and Bento Box on projects such as Rick and Morty, King of the Hill, Paradise PD, and Duncanville, always aiming to push visual storytelling with solid design and thoughtful character development. I currently teach part-time in the Animation Department at Cal State Long Beach, where I share real-world industry experience with students while continuing to practice design and animation for professional projects. I’m excited to bring energy, reliability, and a collaborative spirit to future teams and productions.
