My experience in storyboarding has proved to be as challenging as it is rewarding. I mostly enjoy the collaboration with other creatives because it helps me grow as a storyteller, and the variety of projects I've been part of allows me to get in contact with stories that I’d have never considered on my own. In the end, one of the biggest highlights is to watch the finished product of something I boarded for, after all the input of the rest of the animation team. Seeing how other creative minds built from my foundation is very gratifying!
