Esther Tejano

Concept Artist

She has a strong background in the production department starting as an intern and worked her way up to production management as a coordinator for series and feature films. Her experience is mostly at the front end of the animation pipeline from the development rooms to script and writing. Then all the way to post production that includes the grand finale of working with the marketing and awards team for the season. Currently, she's working as a Visual Development Artist at Netflix Animation Studios for a top secret feature film! Outside of animation, she's also found her voice to express herself as a freelance illustrator. When she's not drawing, Esther is usually plotting out her next hiking adventure or sewing at home.
