My dream job: Character designer! (Storyboards are great, too.) My career goal? Publish my own stories using animation!

My inciting incident was discovering my mom's old graphic design software -- Flash, FreeHand, even "Orly's Draw-A-Story"! Since then, I've loved using digital tools to design memorable characters and tell hilarious, meaningful stories.
