I'm Caitlin Cadieux, a multidisciplinary creative leader with a decade of experience in animation and video production, illustration, and design. I've worked in journalism, television, marketing, and tech, and my breadth of experience equips me to collaborate seamlessly with studios, agencies, and clients of all shapes and sizes.

I specialize in creative leadership with a seasoned eye for the big picture, while deeply grounded in the fine details that make a project bigger and better.

I cultivate a fine art practice under the moniker Smilodonna, where I celebrate my lifelong love for traditional art. When I'm not creating, I'm riding my Surly Midnight Special through the local cemetery, playing with Violet (my dog and the apple of my eye), obsessing about cartoons, and thinking up other ways to flex my creativity.

I've always been passionate about educating, working with students, and sharing creative knowledge. I've presented across the country and internationally, and each time I'm invited to share what I've learned, no matter the setting, that passion is reignited.

I created a comprehensive 6-hour course on using Procreate for professional illustration and animation work, Brush Up, for Mograph.com. You'll hear me in industry spaces like the Motion Hatch podcast and in School of Motion courses, and on my own podcast, Cartoon Feelings, co-hosted with graphic novelist Ira Marcks where we dive into the world of comics and animation.

I've developed workshops, presentations, and lectures for companies like Adobe and Maxon and institutions including RIT and Kent State University. I'm currently available to develop and run workshops, give presentations, and for other speaking engagements.
