ALEX KWAN

Episodic Director, Nickelodeon

Alex Kwan began as animation lead at Titmouse, before moving into storyboards and writing. She was almost immediately nominated for an Annie Award for her board work, and became the artist who could be trusted with the big and difficult emotional episodes. She is currently an episodic director on a CG TRANSFORMERS series at Nickelodeon.

Kwan has worked on projects for clients such as Disney, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Amazon, and Adult Swim. She was nominated for an Annie Award for "Outstanding Achievement for Storyboarding in an Animated Television / Broadcast Production." Her short film, “Chasing Sunlight” was nominated for Best International Short at the Irish Animation Awards.

As her focus, she works on cultivating her pitch, “The Shallot Knight,” a story about growing through grief. On the weekends, she cooks Chinese comfort foods with her family and friends.
