Ginny Hawes is an Animation designer with twenty-eight years of experience. Her character designs have populated the cartoon memories of million of people around the world and she continues today to contribute to the crazy, silly, MAD world of animation! 

She studied character animation at CalArts from 1984-88 under the extraordinary tutelage of Bob Winquist, T. Hee, Hal Ambro, Bob McCrea, Louis Gadal, Ray Aragon and Mike Giaimo. Ginny graduated with a BFA and a treasure trove of priceless memories and lifelong friendships. 

In the years since her graduation she has worked with many of the best animation studios in the world; Hanna- Barbera, Walt Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Paramount and Dreamworks.

Nickelodeon had been her second home for many years. Ultimately serving as principal Character designer on “SpongeBob Squarepants” for several seasons and characters for “Sanjay & Craig”. Her current home is at DreamWorks. Ironically, designing characters on “Home - Adventures of Tip and Oh”. 

 2016 found Ginny and her daughter beginning a new season in life. First grade loomed and with devoting time to her daughter a primary goal for this single mom, something needed to change. To achieve multiple goals she moved to Washington state and currently designs remotely. All her work with DreamWorks, Paramount and Disney Pictures has been, very successfully, done remotely! To inquire further about how well working with a remote artist functions she can direct you to production members for answers.

Ginny is a highly skilled draftsman, she is well versed in Photoshop. Has experience in Illustrator and Sketchup and is currently training to add Harmony and Storyboard Pro to her skill set.

As an artist who enjoys all aspects of the creative process she encourages you to contact her if you are in need of an experienced and talented crew member to achieve your production goals.
