Katie is a diverse 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. Notable recent work includes "Harry Potter Puzzles and Spells" and Star Wars 'Knights of the Old Republic' games. She currently lives on a farm in Vermont with her partner and 2 kids.
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.
"Animation is about creating the illusion of life, and you can't create it if you don't have one."
-- Brad Bird
