Milena Gonçalez has 8 years of experience as a 2D FX artist in television animation.

I’m a Toon Boom Harmony rig Supervisor and R&D in Toon Boom for Xilam Animation (France). I did my studies in 2D animation in Spain, and finally I specialized in Toon Boom Harmony, with a specialty in Rigging. I’m very curious how things work. Working at Xilam Animation allows me to develop my knowledge about the software: creating new builds, developing tools for different phases in a production.

"I've been a director, designer, and animator for the last 15 years. I studied Media Art at Pratt Institute and my thesis film was my first collaboration with my twin sister, Noelle. Pencil on paper! These days we use Toon Boom almost exclusively and love how it stays true to traditional animation. This semester I started working as an Animation Mentor at SVA, helping senior students on their own thesis films. I work and play from my studio in Astoria, NY with my husband, our two children and two pets, from whom I draw endless inspiration. "
