My Story

I've wanted to make cartoons since I was 10 years old and I would make animations with MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker. Since then I have completed a Bachelor in Animation and developed a variety of the skills necessary to make that 10-year-old's dream come true. ​

I am now an animator, specializing in Toon Boom rigging and visual effects. I have a passion for using animation to tell weird and absurd stories that push the bounds of what is proper and sensical.

​ If you’re interested in working with me, I’m interested in hearing from you. I’m especially interested in furthering my experience creating interpolation rigs in Toon Boom. Feel free to contact me at danyellsanimation@gmail.com
