Stacey Aoyama is an illustrator and designer working for Disney Consumer Products. She graduated from University of California San Diego with a degree in Visual Arts, and attended Art Center College of Design as an illustration major. Growing up in the Bay Area, her career ambitions included astronaut, ballerina, orthodontist (and more); however, her consistent passion for drawing and being creative prevailed, and she feels very lucky and humbled to be working for Disney. She currently lives in Sierra Madre, California with her son Charley, and her cat Ramona.
