ANIMATED SHORT SERIES, 2022
Art created for an upcoming animation series at Holler Studios. Due to the fast-paced, remote startup environment, I wore many hats.
Within the studio of 19, I had the most experience in color design, background paint, and storyboards. As a result, I took the lead on production in our dedicated team of 4, and guided two juniors with feedback and revisions.
