Hi, I'm Easton Andrykowski, a passionate story artist with over six years of experience working in the animation industry, primarily at Netflix Animation Studio. I love bringing stories to life through storyboarding, brainstorming creative ideas, and collaborating closely with directors and teams to craft engaging narratives. I’m skilled at pitching ideas, creating comedic gags, and supporting character development, especially in 3D animation projects. I am also experienced in production coordination, where I bridge the gap between story and production teams, facilitating workflows and deliveries, and contributing to story editorial processes. My background in studio art and continuous learning through various mentorship and training programs has helped me grow into a versatile and well-rounded collaborator who enjoys tackling challenges and helping in any way I can.
