Mickey Quinn is a storyboard artist credited for working on 19 episodes of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She worked on the show from 2016 to 2019.[1]
Mickey Quinn also did concept art for the main characters during the show's early development in 2016, though another designer's work was chosen as the basis for the final show,[2] and helped design the Princess Prom and outfits in 2017 and the outfits from Adora's vision of the future in "Heart Part 2" in 2019.

Mickey Quinn released images of storyboards for a few episodes of She-Ra as part of her online portfolio, and subsequently a few more were posted on Tumblr after a fan reached out and asked for a few other specific moments ["Princess Prom": Part (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9)], ["Heart Part 2": Part (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9)]. They can also be viewed on the wiki ("Princess Prom": here; "Heart Part 2": here). When the Tumblr user was asked if Mickey would be posting the full storyboards of these episodes, they replied that Mickey is not planning to.
Mickey Quinn designed the "future/wish" outfits in "Heart Part 2".[4] She also helped design everyone's Princess Prom outfits.[5][6]
Her favorite character, both in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and in the original '80s She-Ra, is Catra. Her favorite episode of the '80s series is "Magicats."[7]
ND Stevenson described her as his "partner in Catdora (which is what we called it) crime."[8] He said "Mickey boarded almost EVERY SINGLE scene with Catra and Adora. Dip? Mickey. Hands? Mickey. Cliff? Mickey. Other cliff? Also Mickey. But also, she was really influential on the direction the story itself took this season [Season Five]. She was so deeply invested in Catra and Adora that a lot of times, I’d run ideas past her first. We ended up emailing back and forth about the story that would end up being Save the Cat."[9]
In an interview with The Verge, ND Stevenson said that during pre-production, Mickey Quinn "drew a version of Catra that was smaller and more slight of frame. And that was something I never considered. It was like, 'She was a femme fatale in the original, of course she’ll be a femme fatale now.' And this version was like, 'Oh, what happens if she’s not? What happens if she’s just this sort of scrawny scrapper? That changes things, and it’s more interesting.'"[10]
↑"All of the future/wish outfits were designed by storyboarder Mickey Quinn, who also boarded that scene! She loves designing clothes and she loves catradora so it was an easy pick for Noelle to loan that previs out to her." -Ray Geiger in a Tumblr post
