THE TEAM THAT STARTED IT ALL

We are Bonsai Animations. This is where the first seed was planted.

I’m Ali M., CEO of Bonsai Animations.

Anime and storytelling have always been a huge part of my life, and building this studio with people who share that vision drives me to give everything for what we’re building. I’m a creative daydreamer, always imagining new characters and stories.

I love playing The Sims and watching horror movies (even if they keep me up at night).

I’m Megumi Fukushima, Art Director of Bonsai Animations.

I’m passionate about art, anime and manga, and I find inspiration in all things cute, especially cats! When I’m not working, I love journaling, painting, and drawing.

I’m a creative and responsible person who’s introverted by nature but deeply passionate about what I do.

I’m Gustavo Arriaga, Co-Writer at Bonsai Animations.

I love exploring new stories and discovering the incredible worlds within them. I’m passionate about art, sports, travelling to new places, and meeting new people.

I fall in love with life a little more every day, and with how it can inspire you to create new things. I’m a firm believer that stories have the power to change the world.

I’m Nadia Mastroyiannis, COO of Bonsai Animations.

I’m half German, half Greek, and was raised in Hong Kong. I’m passionate about animals, climate action, and making things run smoothly behind the scenes. At Bonsai, I take care of the business side so our creative team can thrive.

Outside of work, I love spending time with friends, reading, and traveling.

I’m Santiago Aguilar, Chief Editor at Bonsai Animations.

My role here is to make our first story, The S.YX, as memorable and loved by our fans as possible. I’ve been at Bonsai since its creation, and seeing it grow into what it is now makes me proud.

This amazing team is creating something beautiful, and I can’t wait for you to experience it.

I’m Jared Ortega, Chief Editor at Bonsai Animations.

I love working with scripts, dialogue, and pacing to help shape meaningful, emotional narratives.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find me watching anime, writing, or getting lost in a good book. Hope you like the story!!!

Our art department is still in bloom, quietly growing behind the scenes. We’ll be introducing them as our journey unfolds.
