About
Hi, I’m Sapphira Chen, a passionate animator and storyboard artist with experience in both 2D and 3D animation. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects including commercial ads, original animated series, and music videos, collaborating closely with teams on storyboards, visual development, and scripts. I love bringing stories to life through animation and enjoy working in fast-paced, creative environments.
With a BFA in Character Animation from CalArts and hands-on experience at Pixar and various studios, I’ve developed a strong skill set in animation, storyboarding, and sound design. Beyond work, I volunteer as a Sunday school teacher and worship leader, where I continue to hone my leadership and communication skills. I’m excited to keep growing creatively and contributing to amazing projects.
