Greetings, my name is Lillian Peterson. I am an artist, animator, and efx artist. I am well known by my peers for seeking out tasks remaining to be done. My education has given me knowledge of all parts of the film animation pipeline and given me experience with working in an animation studio. My unique perspective allows me to understand what other departments are doing and how I can support them the best.

My hobbies also include playing platform action games like Sonic Rush and Hollow Knight, sewing, and needle felting.
