About the Speaker
Rosana Sullivan joined Pixar Animation Studios in April 2011. She worked as a story artist on Disney and Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur (2015), Incredibles 2 (2018), and Onward (2020), in addition to the Academy Award®-winning feature film Coco (2017). Sullivan also directed the SparkShorts film Kitbull, that debuted in February 2019 and was nominated for an Academy Award®. She most recently worked on the Disney and Pixar feature Turning Red (2022) and is currently working on an unannounced project.
As a story artist, Sullivan provides visual storytelling to a project’s script pages, utilizing compositional staging, environment, and character blocking. Each storyboard aims to maximize drama and entertainment, while making the story point as clear as possible. Story artists have to draw characters’ acting choices, camera moves, and limited effects animation to sell an idea or emotion.
Prior to working at Pixar, Sullivan attended the University of San Francisco before earning an internship with Pixar University. She later attended Academy of Art University and worked for Kabam, a gaming studio in San Francisco.
Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Sullivan grew up in Texas and San Francisco.
