Hello there!
My name is Joann and I am a story artist in Los Angeles who's currently looking for my next story work! Having worked on shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Kamp Koral, and The Loud House, I have a lot of boarding/revision experience in both 2D and CG shows. I love a new challenge and am eager to learn about the various ways of storytelling the world has to offer.
I love cats, pottery, plants, and baking! I aspire to tell stories with other creative minds in the world and bring characters to life.
