Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an esteemed American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and dancer. I had the opportunity to work closely with Beyoncé during the pre-development phase of her tour stage movie visuals. The concept of character design for SASHA FIERCE was conceived not only for animation purposes but also to embody Beyoncé's stage costume. In my role as creative director and liaison, I spearheaded the production team and art department. Unfortunately, the project was ultimately canceled before the commencement of actual animation production.
