Dana Terrace
Creator & Executive Producer, Disney
Dana Terrace is creator and executive producer of Disney Channel's animated fantasy-comedy series "The Owl House."
Terrace previously served as a director on Disney's Emmy® Award-nominated "DuckTales."
A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Terrace was featured as one of Variety's "10 Animators to Watch" in 2017 and Animation Magazine's "Rising Stars of Animation" in 2019.
As a child, Terrace would sneak into the living room to watch cartoons and copied what she saw into flipbooks. She decided to pursue a career in animation when she was 16 and began sharing her work on different forums while in high school. Her art blog gained notice from the creative team behind Disney's "Gravity Falls," with Terrace landing her first job out of college as a storyboard revisionist on the series.
Born in Hamden, Connecticut, Terrace currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
