About me

My name is Daniela Smith-Fischer but you can call me Dani. I am a Brazilian-Canadian storyboard artist with 10 years of experience in the industry.

Besides story work, I have extensive experience with illustration, traditional animation, supervision, and development.

I have been storyboarding for 2D/3D animated projects and live-action
advertisements. The latest projects I have worked on are “Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie”; “Welcome Home Franklin” and the Sony feature “Harold and the Purple Crayon”.

I am currently writing and producing my graphic novel. I have a
passion for fine arts, cinematic visuals, action, anime, animals, sweets, and sparkle.

My top 10 movies are (in no order): Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, Fight
Club, The Fall (2006), Kung Fu Hustle, Chicago, Catch Me If You Can, Lilo and Stitch, Babe, Nightmare Before Christmas.

I believe that the beauty of story art is that it’s universal and inclusive of any language. I want to tell my own stories as well as help others tell theirs to the world.
