Hi I’m
Paula Assadourian,
a visual storyteller and director with over a decade of experience at Pixar, DreamWorks, and Sony Pictures Animation.
I have storyboarded on these movies
I am an artist and illustrator.
My diverse background, playful sense of humor, and a deep spiritual practice help shape my distinctive artistic voice.
I illustrated and helped create a children’s book called The Mindful Cat to help children navigate their emotions.
I am currently directing an independent 2d short film called Breath, which reflects my curiosity for the healing possibilities of tuning our breath with the larger rhythm of nature.
Coming in Spring of 2028.
