About

I’m a 2D animator focused on expressive animation, visual storytelling, and stylized motion.
I primarily work with Blender (Grease Pencil) and Adobe After Effects, with additional experience in Spine 2D, Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, and TV Paint. My background includes independent animated shorts, music videos, and YouTube story time episodes. I’m currently seeking opportunities in animated series, music videos, or creative studio work — remote or on-site in Europe.
