Smids Animation Studios

Meet Desire, our Production & Project Manager at Smids Animation Studios ⚙️✨

In this week’s Smids Unscripted Q&A, Desire shares what it’s like being at the center of production, reviewing schedules, coordinating the team, tracking progress, and making sure every moving part of a project stays aligned. She helps keep communication flowing and timelines on track so the creative team can focus on bringing stories to life.

She also talks about why Keko is a project she’s especially proud of. Managing the production process and supporting the team as everything came together made the experience incredibly rewarding.

Her advice for anyone interested in production? Stay organized, communicate clearly, and always think ahead.

If she were a cartoon character, she’d be Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, focused, hardworking, and determined to turn a vision into reality. ✨

For the past 10 days, we’ve been on an incredible journey with the Neurodivergent Creators Lab, organized by Simeon’s Oasis, with Smids Animation Studios leading the animation training. 💛✨

These talented students explored the full creative process from scriptwriting and directing to music production, editing, and animation. Watching them discover their voices through art and storytelling has been truly inspiring.

It has been a deeply impactful and transformative experience, not just for the students, but for all of us involved.

We’re grateful to all the amazing partners KapHub, Shades of Life Foundation, Chocolate City, Down Syndrome Foundation, Trace TV, and many others for supporting this beautiful initiative.

This was more than a workshop.
It was a journey of creativity, confidence, and possibility. 🎬🎨

She will probably write what she learnt from her dream 😂 😂
Happy weekend 🎈 😄

This can be sooo annoying 😂😂

It's the weekend be sure to have fun 💃
