Biography
While in high school, Johnson was a member of an award-winning student-produced comedy show, Beyond Our Control which ran on the local NBC affiliate, WNDU-TV, at that time owned and operated by the University of Notre Dame.[1]
Johnson earned a degree in radio, television, and film at Northwestern University.[2]
Blue's Clues
Johnson was a freelance animator in the early 1990s when cable television network Nickelodeon wanted to create a new television show for preschoolers. She already had experience working in children's television.[3] In 1994, Johnson, along with producer Angela Santomero and director Todd Kessler, which Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson called a "green creative team",[4] created the series Blue's Clues.[5] According to Johnson, she was cast as the voice of Blue, because out of the show's crew, she sounded the most like a dog.[4]
