Galyn Susman joined Pixar Animation Studios in November of 1990, and worked on Pixar’s TV commercial production as technical director, animator, and producer. Her first work on a feature film was for Toy Story, where she modeled, shaded, and supervised lighting. She continued to model on A Bug’s Life, then served as supervising technical director on Toy Story 2 and as simulation and effects supervisor for Monsters Inc. Most recently, Galyn was the associate producer for Ratatouille.
Galyn is currently the producer for the DVD Promo Department at Pixar and oversees the production of the DVD and Blu-ray bonus features and original animation promotional spots.
Before arriving at Pixar, Galyn was conducting graphics research and development at Apple, where she was a part of the team that made a short film entirely on Macintosh computers. She cites this project as one of her early influences in choosing her current career. Raised in Park Forest, Illinois, a town south of Chicago, Galyn is a graduate of Brown University, and lives in Piedmont with her husband and three children.
