Meet Sammy Mae
Samantha Mae is a freelance animator and illustrator . She earned her BA in Film and Media Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, focusing specifically on animation production. She fell in love with visual development and aspires to pursue character design in animation.
Before attending UCSB, Samantha was a competitive gymnast for 16 years. Gymnastics drew her towards the art of movement, and its influence is present throughout many works.
When she’s not drawing, you can find Samantha practicing vinyasa yoga, watching anime, or making custom drinks at Starbucks!
