Hey There!

My name is Amiel and I'm a storyboard artist based in Burbank, CA.

So far I've boarded on an adult animated pilot currently in production and a film which won awards at the Pasadena International Film Festival and the Independent Shorts Awards.

I'm currently looking for full time or freelance storyboard projects!
