As a child, I loved cartoons. Not that this should be a surprise; you ought to check a kid’s pulse if they don’t like cartoons! Two of the more influential movies of my youth were Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and The Point!. In the early 90’s, I obsessively watched a documentary called What’s Up Doc? A Salute to Bugs Bunny. Being able to see behind the scenes of Warner Brothers, and coming to find how old those cartoons really were, fascinated and excited me.

Since then, having taken several art and animation classes, making the big move to Los Angeles, I have worked on a variety of projects for musicians, comedians, theme parks, and a couple of “name” studios, too! Most recently, I worked as a 2D designer and director’s assistant for the Chiodo Brothers/Netflix special Alien Xmas.

Having worked both on the creative side, as well as production, I can handle a variety of creative projects, including yours!

A talented animator.
–Dahveed K.

When you talk about it [animation and being an animator], your eyes light up and you get really excited. Your tone of voice changes and you do a lot of hand gestures.
–Elena M.

If there were ever a Katie to know, its her. She is the King of Katies.
–Andrew J.

I like how Katie’s just real with it.
–Vanessa J.

I enjoy Katie’s enthusiasm, creativity, energy, and her smile when she meets or exceeds the expectations… I have had the privilege of reviewing her artwork. I saw creativity, drive, and exceptional self-acquired skill. I hope she continues it as a life long interest.
