Star vs. the Forces of Evil
Шаблон:Main Nefcy first pitched an early version of the character Star Butterfly to Disney about four years before the show first aired.[6] Her initial concept was Star as a young child with imaginary super powers.[6] When one of the television executives suggested that Star should be a teenager with real magical powers, Nefcy came up with the idea of turning her into a foreign exchange student from another dimension where she is a princess.[6] Nefcy worked on Star vs. the Forces of Evil for about three years before it first aired; following a one-year pilot phase, producing the first 13-episode season took two more years.[6]
Her animated series debuted in 2015 and continued for four seasons, yielding top ratings for Disney, with an avid social media fan base, and spin-off books and online games.[7]

Nefcy directed an episode of We the People (2021), an animated TV series educating children about civics, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama.[8]
