About Me

Hi! I'm Kristen Willsher, an animator and educator passionate about storytelling through movement. I’ve worked on major Pixar films like Toy Story 5, Inside Out 2, Elio, and Luca, with experience spanning feature animation, VR, and commercials.

I love mentoring up-and-coming artists, having taught at LuMAA Animation Summer Camp and spoken at The Animation Collaborative’s EPIC Intensive on industry skills and career growth.

Always eager to push creative boundaries, I thrive on sharing knowledge and evolving with the industry. When I’m not animating, I’m drinking good coffee, getting lost in sci-fi, or rocking out to my favorite bands.
