Ru Smith grew up in Maryland and has the best dog in the world, Ollie. If you thought your dog was the best, I’m sorry you had to learn the truth this way.

They adore storyboarding, especially when it comes to dynamic action and musical sequences. They greatly enjoy collaborating with people and creating stunning projects together.

When they’re not hunched over storyboarding, they’re knee-deep in some other project. Hobbies include oil painting, writing, journaling, crafting, and petting dogs. Ask about their favorite book if you have an extra twelve-hours to spare (spoil alert it’s The Devil and The Dark Water by Stuart Turton).
