El Deafo

 

In 2020 I storyboarded on the BAFTA Award Winning El Deafo, with Lighthouse Studios for Apple TV+.

This was a particularly special project to me due to the content; telling Cece Bell’s autobiographical story of a deaf child was truly rewarding.

It was also meaningful as I storyboarded the original pitch animation for the series, one of my first storyboarding roles at the beginning of my career.
