Ella Cesari is an animator, story artist and cartoonist based in Philadelphia. She loves creating characters and telling stories because it's such a powerful tool for growing as a person! Ella strives to create work that is squash-and-stretchy and exaggerated, but heartfelt and meaningful at the same time. Outside of animation, she enjoys playing ukulele, wearing cute outfits, and spontaneously bursting into song.
