Anna Cangellaris
Production design
I'm an animator and production designer in Pasadena, CA! I create lush, femme worlds and the saucy characters who live in them. It's Bratz meets Don't Worry Darling- but if it actually had a plot!
Biography
Anna works with 2D animation, motion and narrative to create vibrant, character driven work. She is a one-stop-shop and can take any project from concept art to storyboards, 2D animation, compositing and everything in-between! Her brain works best when absolutely inundated with tasks.
She has had the pleasure of working with Adult Swim, TriBeCa Film Institute, Cogs & Marvel, Adobe, Conscious Minds, Rice McVaney and PBS among others on animated shorts, commercials, bumpers and film credits.
She recieved her BFA from RISD (2012), her MFA from CalArts (2018) and has taught Traditional and Digital Animation courses at The New School, Los Angeles County High School For the Arts, and with Sony Pictures Media Arts Program.
