Raised in the suburbs of Boston, John McGowan grew up obsessed with two things: drawing and Ninja Turtles. When a career as a crime-fighting reptile proved unlikely, he attented Stonehill College where he discovered a passion for animation. This medium freed his characters from the confines of his notebooks and allowed them to live and move on the screen. This development in his work sparked an unexpected journey to UMass Dartmouth's graduate program in Digital Media. After graduation, McGowan plans to pursue a career in the animation industry.

After leaving Syracuse, she mvoed to Boston and began working odd jobs, which led her to start a freelance upholstery design business called Jane of All Trades.
