Animal house Say hello to the furry colleagues and tactile inspirations that inhabit the Nickelodeon visual development artist’s studio space
Funnily
enough, this room used to be our pets’ room, for the usage of our two cats and
one rabbit. During shared an office. We’d
sit back-toback, all the while conducting ourselves professionally in each of our
productions
My prized Glorious Gaming mechanical keyboard that my friend Rocky built for me, alongside my programmable macro keyboard my friend Kevin helped me build for my daily Photoshop usage. The programmable keyboard has quickened my workflow and with my small hands, has made it easier for me to use.

It was tough, and we needed to have our own
spaces to think, feel, and to be
inspired. I moved out of the office and repainted and redecorated the pets’ room to be what it is today. Winnie, our
nine-year-old rabbit, is with me in the office, and she is a daily source of calm and centring of energy. Often,
my mornings begin with cuddling the two cats, Herbie and Odin, and Winnie the
rabbit. Starting the day off the tone
for me, even if I know a
huge deadline is looming over the day. Chatting with my husband about our intents for the day, and sharing fun music and videos that make us laugh is also crucial to getting going. After grabbing my hot water and coffee, I begin writing down my list of tasks to do for the day. I don’t find I’m like most artists; I’m analytical and not as fantastically creative in my process.
