Birgit is a Storyboard Artist and Animator from Germany who started out in commercial design. For college, she went to SoCal and is now part of the indie and TV animation scene.

Animation has always been important to me. Due to my autism, I didn’t speak until age six, but I was drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil and taught myself stop motion.I founded DaniMation when I was fourteen, initially to produce my own animation series, but quickly found a niche by teaching animation to others with autism—becoming asocial entrepreneur, first in the US and now internationally in addition to my original goal of animation production. Professionally, I earned a BFA in animation and an MBA, and premiered 9 animated shorts at San Diego Comic-Con.

Chris make animated short films, Animatics and small comics. He likes to teach Toon Boom Harmony to people so they can animate and make their own stories.
