Hello, my name is Anne. Originating from Montreal, I now call Vancouver B.C. my home. I’m a director, illustrator and animator with over ten years experience working with a wide range of clients.
I specialize in 2D animation (mostly in After Effects and Procreate Dreams) with the occasional sprinkle of 3D. I am very fond of character animation which makes me feel like an all powerful puppet master (in a good way!) I also delight in explaining scientific and abstract concepts through animation for education and entertainment. These days, I am enjoying sharpening my modeling skills in Blender and am working on a sci-fi animation short film in my spare time.
I am a fan of graphic novels and lover of nature. I hike the local Vancouver mountains for a regular dose of forest bathing. I live with my husband, son, and dog/cat dynamic duo Freya and Loki.
