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, Kamp Koral, and Middlemost Post, I have a lot of plussing/revision experience in both 2D and CG. I always love a new challenge and am eager to learn about the various ways of storytelling the world has to offer.
​
I love cats, coffee, plants, and baking! I aspire to tell stories with other creative minds in the world and bring characters to life.
