Hi, I'm Kaitlin! ❀
Growing up in Kansas, I watched animated shows and movies to avoid my uneventful reality. Bored out of my mind, I escaped into fantastical worlds and fascinating characters. As I connected with the stories, I came to realize that great storytelling was actually a reflection of life. As Robert McKee writes in STORY: "Story isn't a flight from reality but a vehicle that carries us on our search for reality, our best effort to make sense out of the anarchy of existence."
Today, animation is my vessel for storytelling, and it's the way that I express love for our beautiful world! I love collaborating with all the amazing artists and producers in this industry to create visually and emotionally appealing stories.
Previously, I worked at HiFi 3D, Hornet, Framestore, ODD, HOPR, Jabimation, and Free Range VFX. I'm currently available for work — I'd love to join your next project!
When I'm not animating, I organize events at Asians in Animation. You can also find me watching movies, developing recipes, reading too many books at once, and eating to my heart's content!
