ABOUT

Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a CG technical director, coder, and animator in Los Angeles.

From May 2021 to June 2025, I was employed doing tools development and previs/layout work on the Avatar sequels. Prior to that, I was a CG artist for the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute. I recently received my first film credit for working on Avatar: The Way of Water.

I produce independent animation under the name bugmuthur. You can follow her on TikTok, YouTube, and/or Instagram.

I have experience working with variety of DCCs including Maya, Motionbuilder, the Adobe Suite, and Blender. I have worked as an artist and developer in virtual production and game engine workflows, using both out-of-the box functionality and properietary extensions. I can code in Python, HTML, and CSS. I am comfortable working with git. I have traditional art training.

I am available for freelance animation and TD work in the upcoming months. I can help you with your pipeline, or use my own pipeline to create moving images for you. If you have technical question or are looking to hire, please contact me at contact@ktcg.art.
