私も詳しく知らなかったのですが、Muppet Babiesや美女と野獣、そしてMoanaまで担当した方で、『プリンセスと魔法のキス』の特徴的なAlmost Thereのシーンなどを手掛けていたとのこと。

On Hercules, she created a style guide that defined Greek design, and supervised the look of the film across layout, animation, effects, color styling and more. The title “Production Stylist” was created for her, as no one had done a similar role before at Disney Animation.

From Animator and Director Eric Goldberg: “She will be sadly missed by those of us who had the good fortune to work with her, but her influence on those films will be there forever.”
