Hi there! I’m Katie, an award-winning animator, illustrator and designer from central New England. After several years as part of the internal production studio at Fisher-Price, I’m now based in NYC with the digital content and on-air promo team at Nick Jr., where I work with an amazing team of people to create short-form content that airs on Nick channels, Youtube, and the Noggin app. In 2016 I worked with a team to create Girls in Charge, an inspirational short about the power of young girls to create and excel, which won a Daytime Creative Emmy for Best Brand Image Campaign.
I hold a masters degree in animation from the Savannah College of Art and Design, as well as a B.F.A in Animation and a B.A. in English from the University of Massachusetts, and am constantly working to add new skills to my toolset!
My personal style tends to focus on whimsical and nostalgic subjects, and I love working with paper, exact-o knives, and anything that can be brought to life through animation. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and a huge fan of knitting, peanut butter, plants and bicycles. Puppies too. Obviously.
If you’d like to get in touch, I’d love to hear from you! katharine.wynkoop@gmail.com
