Peter, what do you feel?
Drama sequence (June 2024)
Wendy tries to find out if Peter has ever felt love. But her curiosity awakens an unexpected feeling in Peter. Created in the style of Cartoon Saloon and completed during the Guto BR’s storyboarding course.The exercise was to create a storyboard using audio from a film I had never seen before. I chose the original audio from the film Peter Pan (2003).
The Saint and the Pig
Comedy sequence (March 2024)
Eurico, a poor old farmer and devotee of Saint Anthony, keeps a pig stuffed with money at home, saved for a lifetime. When he receives a letter from a rich neighboring farmer, he senses that he is after his treasure, until he reads it...The Saint and the Pig is a play written by Ariano Suassuna, "a northeastern imitation of the work of the Roman writer Plautus Aulularia" set in the northeastern backlands of Brazil. The board was completed during the Guto BR’s storyboarding course.
The Hunt
Comedy sequence (May 2024)
A storyboard I created inspired by a personal experience about the nights I lost hunting my greatest mortal enemy.A board of thumbnails I created for the Split Academia Storyboard course project.

✿ about ✿
Hello! I'm Jane Choi (xani to my close friends 💚), a Korean-Brazilian Story artist and Illustrator based in São Paulo with a BA in Design.For over 8 years, I've explored various areas of the creative industry as a graphic designer, illustrator, and commission artist. Recently, I've found my true calling as a storyboard artist—and I'm thrilled to be learning and growing in this new journey.As a shy, introverted child from an immigrant family, I didn't speak Portuguese. Drawing became my gateway to the world, helping me connect with others. This experience fueled my passion for storytelling through art. Beyond my professional work, I'm also developing a personal comic book project, which you can find on my instagram. 🌻Thank you for visiting my portfolio. You can download my CV below.
