About me
Vanessa Zhan, born and raised in Canada, is a Vancouver-based 2D animator who directed the film Teenage Dream. As someone who took theatre courses in high school, Vanessa discovered the joy of being up on stage and making people laugh. As a result, she would always look for ways to include comedy within her animation. Vanessa graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design as a 2D-Experimental Animation major, and is looking forward to a career that blends storytelling and comedy within animation.
