We are ending season one of the podcast with a banger with the one and only Steph Rizo, a Mexican-American Character Designer and Story Artist currently working at Sony Animation Studio! Learn how Steph tried to break into the industry as a character designer but instead broke in as a Story Intern for Walt Disney Animation! Her journey into story didn't stop there, as she soon got a job as a storyboard artist on Spider Verse 2! We also talk about her educational journey and her decision to study at a community college due to finical circumstances. She also talks about being more open about her sexuality and wanting to represent that more in her art moving forward. Steph journey into animation has been crazy, unorthodox and amazing! We hope you enjoy our final episode of season one of the Straight Ahead Animation Podcast!
