MFA - Producing
Shivani Devi Gobalakichenin
Hi, I’m Shivani! I’m a production management professional who loves helping creative teams stay organized, supported, and able to do their best work.
At Asians in Animation, I serve as the Production Management Lead, where I coordinate project requests, keep schedules running smoothly, and bridge communication across departments. I work closely with our Production Coordinators and the Marketing Communications team to make sure every project has clarity, resources, and a clear path to delivery.
I originally joined AIA in 2024 as a Production Coordinator on Tea Leaves: The Last and later expanded into the Communications department. I’m also part of the 2025 Development Lab as a Production Assistant.
Outside of AIA, I’ve worked as a Production Intern at Skydance Animation, supporting the feature film pipeline, and I recently completed my MFA in Animation & Visual Effects at the Academy of Art University. Through StudioX, I’ve helped produce several projects across VFX, CG, and stop-motion pipelines. I’m currently producing my own short film, Project Infrared, while also supporting several other 2D indie short films.
When I’m not in production-mode, you can usually find me baking, hiking, or checking another National Park off my list.
