I’m Maxwell Racz, a lead 2D character animator in Vancouver, BC. I’ve spent most of the last decade working in both feature film and television for clients such as Disney, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. My favourite part about working in animation is the ability to bring international audiences together through diverse stories – even if we don’t share a language, animation makes it possible to communicate with anyone!

I’m a 2D animator currently working a paid position as an animation intern at Nelvana and student under the Sisler CREATE program. I participated in the Orange Tree Project under the guidance of Nickelodeon mentors as an animator for an animated short, and co-lead for series development. My team scored 7th overall in the 24 Hour Animation Challenge, and I’ve worked with the NHL to create content for Filipino Heritage Night. I’ve been able to share my experiences to audiences at Ottawa International Animation Festival, Toon Boom Animated Trends Event as well as students in California.

Hi, my name is Lieke and I am a Freelance animator and illustrator. I have had the opportunity to work on a couple of cool projects, animated shorts, TV and YouTube series. No matter how big or how small the project, I look for that little bit of magic in everything I do. For me, visual storytelling is all about sharing, so I am happiest when I can share my experiences and creations with colleagues, friends and whoever is willing to listen.
