​

Katie is a diverse Director, Animator and Storyboard Artist. As a specialist for over 10 years, she has created and led story-driven teams for companies such as Mill Film and Activision. She is currently animating the upcoming Star Wars 'Knights of the Old Republic' game, and lives on a farm in Vermont.

 

In 2014, she left Amazon the game studio to travel to Amazon the rainforest, documenting her travels in a web comic called Orcapod.  Since then, she has been all over the world - by plane, boat, bus and foot - bit by wild monkeys, stung by jungle wasps, and living with indigenous tribes. Throughout all of these adventures and mishaps, Katie has authored and illustrated over 30 children's books, maintained a daily instagram series called "Lump Lumpy" and driven a camper van for over 30, 000 miles. 

​

Notable projects include Lead Animation for the films FINCH (2022), and CATS the musical (2019) 

 

In her spare time she works with rescue horses, practices yoga, and dresses up her dogs in formal top hats for parties.
