Connie Wong — Head of Design
I love storytelling through visual art. A highlight of my 12-year animation career includes the opportunity to work on the award-winning shows like the flagship "Mickey Mouse Shorts". Growing up, animated movies would spark my imagination, entranced by the spectacular works of background art by Eyvind Earle in “Sleeping Beauty”, I fell in love with the beauty and magic. After pursuing various career paths, I finally got to do what I love. Fortunate to work with trailblazers like Craig McCracken, Chris Prynoski, and on projects produced by John Lasseter and Steven Spielberg, I thoroughly enjoy working with a team, bringing our best work to bring a story to life.
