“I have now worked alongside Miritte on two animated explainer shorts in the last 6 months. Miritte has outstanding vision of how to interpret scripts. Her visual style is brilliant and unique. It communicates so very effectively. Miritte works decisively and industriously, but is hugely collaborative. She is a truly delightful and enthusiastic personality. I've been a TV Producer in advertising for 35 years and worked extensively on animation. You'll be very lucky to be working with Miritte! She's a very exceptional talent.”
