About Stef Chrysanthou

Hey - Welcome to my website!
​​​
I'm a systems-driven 2D Cut-Out Character Animator & Technical Rigger with 9 years of professional industry experience. I specialise in production-ready character animation and rigging in Toon Boom Harmony, building animator-friendly TV series rigs as well as clean, developer-ready interactive character systems in Rive.
​​
I graduated from The Arts University Bournemouth with a BA (Hons) Animation Production.
​​​
Over the years, I've contributed to exciting productions for Nickelodeon, Netflix, Adult Swim, Apple, BBC and Disney, working across both character animation and technical rig development within fast-paced production pipelines.
​
Alongside studio work, I continue to explore real-time motion design and input-driven character systems through personal projects. These allow me to refine my approach to state machines, rig architecture and interactive motion, while staying up to date with evolving industry technologies.
​​​
I enjoy working in teams whose ethos involves good communication, sharing of knowledge and healthy feedback. I believe it's one of the best ways to learn, network and grow professionally - while also making the process genuinely enjoyable.
​​
​
Outside of animation, I love to travel whenever I get the opportunity. I appreciate spontaneity, new environments and meeting with different communities. Watching documentaries, reading a book, playing video games and occasionally planning ahead help me to reset and recharge. I also find surprising amount of peace in wood-crafting. Give me tools and space and I'll get crafting. Give me a map and I'll start exploring.

Thank you for visiting.
