Hi, I’m Sophia Johnson. I’m an animator and storyboard artist based in New York, open to relocation. I love weaving storytelling with strong character design and atmospheric environments. I work across 2D and 3D pipelines, from concept art and storyboards to modeling, rigging, animation, and compositing. I completed an MFA in Computer Art at the School of Visual Arts and finished my 3D CGI thesis film, Strawberry Meringue Cake. I’ve collaborated with teams on projects including a 1-minute animation for Aquest. I enjoy bringing ideas to life through a mix of software like Toon Boom, Maya, Photoshop, After Effects, and Blender.…Hi, I’m Sophia Johnson.
