Natalia Poteryakhin
Director
Storyboard Artist
Animator
Stories are my jam. And my bread, too. And butter. I'm a director, storyboard artist, screenwriter, and 2d animator. Currently, I'm directing a series of shorts (called Sunny Side Down) at MAKE, an animation studio in downtown Minneapolis. Outside of directing, I help the team with screenwriting, styleframes, storyboards, whatever MAKE needs.
I also serve as President of Nice Moves, a volunteer-run nonprofit working to build community amongst animators, motion designers, and visual effects artists in Minnesota. I put together monthly meetups, mentorship mixers, salary surveys, speaker events, anijams, and more, all for my not-so-secret plan to help independent animation flourish.
