Mighty work by Bonnie …
“I want to continue to invite marginalised people into the animated space, both on screen and behind the scenes. Being a queer woman gives me an appreciation for how hard it can be breaking into traditionally male lead spaces. I want to make work that speaks to diverse audiences while always delivering it fun, fresh and out loud!”
-Bonnie
It takes character to create characters – and Bonnie isn’t short of personality. Bonnie recently stepped out of her 2D comfort zone to lead a campaign for the Australian Electoral Commission, and boy did it pay off! Bonnie pushed 3D into new shapes, delivering a big and beautiful campaign that encouraged voter enrolment and engagement in the democratic process.
