About
Parker Machemer (he/him) is a storyboard artist specializing in anime-inspired action-adventure storyboards for animation, comics, and video games. He currently works as a storyboard artist for WEBTOON on Taejin: Legend of the Yang Metal and has contributed to various indie projects as a storyboard artist, character artist, and UI/UX designer.
Parker is fluent in Japanese and enjoys translating animation production materials into English in his free time; his translation of Hayao Miyazaki's walk cycle notes was featured in Animation Obsessive. He enjoys visiting Japan whenever he can to stock up on art books and pon-de-ring donuts.
While he developed his skills as a storyboard artist, Parker worked for 5 years at Twitter where he analyzed animation and gaming trends in English- and Japanese-speaking communities to support marketing, sales, and product teams. This experience helped nurture Parker's excellent communication skills and his knack for picking up new technologies and pipelines quickly.
In his free time Parker enjoys listening to music, watching D&D actual play shows, powerlifting, and singing karaoke (badly).
