Howdy! I'm Katie Lester, an artist born and raised in Tennessee. I started my journey into animation when I realized cartoons weren't real, but you could make them yourself!

I graduated from Lipscomb University with a BFA in animation. I directed, designed, and produced my own short film Pixelation, and was the art director & head of character design for the short film Crescendo.

I mainly specialize in concept & visual development. Storyboards, characters, props, and layout designs are all my strong suits!

My expertise lies in Storyboard Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Toon Boom Harmony, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint. 

Hit me up and let's grab coffee!
