Growing up as a Native Californian, Annie was immersed in a world of adventure, imagination, whimsy, a dash of ocean salt, and a little bit of Pixie dust. Annie has dabbled in multiple forms of art with the most extensive study being the side margins of her Math assignments. In 4th grade her teacher, a retired animator, taught inspired learning through art alongside the curriculum, which fueled her passion for storytelling and the infinite possibilities of imagination. Annie has evolved from math margin sketches to animation art at the Walt Disney Animation studio as an Ink & Paint artist. She is very honored to be part of the preservation of the Walt Disney Studio’s traditional form of animated storytelling.
