Rebecca Sugar

"Rebecca Sugar" is the creator of Steven Universe. She is an artist, composer, and director who is known mostly for her work with Adventure Time, another Cartoon Network cartoon, her award winning animated short "Singles", and her graphic novel "Pug Davis".

In 2012, Cartoon Network greenlit Steven Universe, making her the first female cartoon creator in the network's 21 year history. Rebecca was one of the main storyboard artists on Adventure Time, which she left during the fifth season to work on Steven Universe.

Career
Rebecca is from Silver Spring, Maryland and attended Visual Arts Center at Einstein High and Montgomery Blair High simultaneously in Maryland. Later, she would attend the School of Visual Arts in New York. She was eventually hired as a storyboard revisionist during season one of Adventure Time, and later promoted to storyboard artist in the second season.

Rebecca would eventually leave Adventure Time in early 2013 to launch her new cartoon, Steven Universe. Her final episode she worked on for Adventure Time, titled "Simon and Marcy", was difficult because she was working on that episode alongside with launching her new show.

She has achieved numerous awards in her career in television, such as earning nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards and Annie Awards while working for Adventure Time, and being featured in Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30 in Entertainment" list in 2012, noting that she was responsible for some of the best episodes of Adventure Time.
