Deanna is originally from Dallas, TX, and was drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil. After falling in love with the art of animation, she was accepted at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, graduating in 2012 with honors and a BFA in 2D Animation. After graduating, she was hired as a 2D animator at a small studio in the heart of Manhattan, designing, puppet-rigging, and animating for the show "MAD" on Cartoon Network. In 2014, Deanna joined Bento Box Entertainment at their Atlanta, GA branch, doing inbetween animation for the Hulu animated series "The Awesomes." About 10 years ago, Deanna made her way back to her home state of Texas to work at Powerhouse Animation. She has provided animation in series work such as the Netflix show "Castlevania", and primarily animating for the magnificent Powerhouse Boutique department, working and supervising animation on short-form projects for Riot Games, SEGA, and many others. Even with over a decade of industry experience under her belt, Deanna still views animation with childlike wonder, believing it is nothing short of magic.
