I'm Vanessa! I'm an animator, storyboarder, and producer based in Houston, Texas (and looking onward to Los Angeles!)

I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2024 with a BFA in Film/Animation/Video. In my junior thesis projects and thesis film, "Chasing Butterflies" I explored narrative storytelling without dialogue and blending techniques and aesthetics of traditional media in my digital animation. I worked as a production lead on my projects as well as on a collaborative animated film, "Curse Reverse".

Outside of animation, I also enjoy illustration, knitting & crocheting, and ballroom dance 💃
