Sadie is a storyboard artist and animator, based in Los Angeles. She has an immense passion for character acting and emotion, which brings a uniquely nuanced and empathetic quality to her animation and illustration work. She has a knack for visual comedy and timing, and is especially skilled at drawing silly little cats!

​

Sadie earned her BFA in Animation from Otis College of Art and Design, where she developed her skill for visual storytelling. She learned programs such as Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Animate, Storyboard Pro, Tv Paint, Blender, and Maya 3D, all of which contributed to the development of her animated short film, Panic Room, which earned her second place at the Otis College Film Festival two years in a row. 

​​

Aside from her commercial work, Sadie also manages her own online art brand under the alias "Piles of Peaches," for which she takes on character-driven commission work in the form of illustrations, sketches, and short animations. Through this brand, Sadie was able to develop an online art community, in which she teaches foundational knowledge for art and animation to developing artists, as well as hosting creative workshops, film discussion and program tutorials for its members.
