Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Katya Bowser and Cassie Soliday

 

Today's guest is creator, Elizabeth Ito!

With experience in both TV and Feature animation, Elizabeth shares her journey from storyboard artist to supervising director to developing her own short at Cartoon Network to creating and running her own series at Netflix. She shares what it’s been like to create something out of the box to what a typical kids show is, how she learned to embrace what makes her unique and develop her voice, as well as her thoughts on life, art, comedy, motherhood, and everything in between.
