About Me
- Heidi Smith
- I was the Character Designer for ParaNorman, and I won the 2012 Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Character Design in a Feature Production for my designs. In 2017, I illustrated my very first picture book, Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth, which won the Bull-Bransom Award in 2019 for excellence in the field of children's book illustration with a focus on nature and wildlife. I have also worked as a character designer for Henry Selick at Cinderbiter, The Jim Henson Company, DreamWorks Animation, Warner Brothers Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, and Netflix. I have contributed character design and visual development work to films like Wish Dragon and The Wild Robot. I graduated from the California Institute of the Arts from the character animation program in 2008. All original artwork copyright Heidi Smith 2026.
