Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast- a look at animation through the women who make it!
This is another interview in our Parenting in Animation series!
Hosted by Katya Bowser
Today’s guest is visual development artist, Xochitl Thienes!
With the long term goal of breaking into the animation industry, Xochitl found herself 8 months pregnant when she got the phone call that she got a prop designer job on Nickelodeon’s "The Casas Grandes." She shares with us the emotional rollercoaster of getting pregnant when you haven’t made it to your goals, how she handled the eternal question: to take a maternity leave or not, and how she asked for what she needed from her partner, friends, and even production team.
When people say you can’t have both, Xochitl recommends to not listen. You can have both. It’s hard work, but stay positive.
Foot note: This interview was recorded in late 2019.

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast- a look at animation through the women who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is script coordinator and writer, Christina Kishpaugh!
What I adore about Christina, is that she is herself in any room she walks into. But in a professional environment where others can sometimes try to put you in a box of how an assistant should act or speak, it’s a challenge to be yourself! She shares with us how she manages others' expectations while living up to her own, how she began her Hollywood journey at an agency and landed on the Disney Jr show, “Mira,” and how she uses her personal podcast projects as research and development for her writing career.

Today’s guest is storyboard revisionist, Kristen Pileri!
She shares how she went from production assistant to storyboard revisionist and how she pushed herself forward even when she felt all her hard work wouldn’t pay off.
Some people love working in production, but it just wasn’t for her. She did her job the best she could, but at some point, she decided to stand up for herself and not to let anyone forget that she wanted to be an artist. Meanwhile, she is a champion of camaraderie among the crew and loves to promote a healthy work/life balance as much as possible.
